Storms brewing

Had to postpone the flight back to KC a couple of days due to Hurricane Ike pounding the coast of Texas. Appears that all of Continental's flights from Guatemala (and probably most other Latin American cities) pass through Houston, and the airport is closed until at least tomorrow afternoon. ...
