It came ashore as a category 2 storm with winds of 110 miles per hour. It produced wind gusts of 90-110 mph around the Houston area. Ike had a storm surge of 15-25 feet. Luckily, the storm was only moving around 15 mph past Houston which kept the rainfall totals around 3-8 inches. During Ike’s journey through Houston, it damaged both Reliant Stadium and Minute Maid Stadium which are the homes to the NFLs Texans and the MLB Astros respectively. Due to the storm the Texans football game against the Ravens was cancelled and the entire late season baseball series between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros was moved to Milwau- kee. Gusts totals were averaging 90mph with a rainfall total of 10 inches. The storm moved east of Hous- ton and weakened to a tropical storm by Saturday afternoon. There were no reports of tornadoes growing from Ike, which is unlikely because that usually happens when a tropical storm occurs. Ike reminds a lot of people of the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, which killed 1,200 people and completely damaged the island.

In the United States, 68 people have been confirmed dead and 365 people are still missing. Thousands of rescues where reported after the storm because many people stayed in the area against the recommendations of local officials. Hurricane Ike’s damage totaled 27 billion dollars. It is considered the third most damaging storm in United States his- ‘tory. The only two Hurricanes that caused more damage were Andrew in 1992 and Katrina in 2005. Hurricane Ike is the worst storm to hit the United States since Katrina in 2005. ; Reflection and Atonement Mark Jewish Holy Days By: Rahel Teklegiorgis Lion's Eye Staff Writer rtt129@psu.edu Hometown Hero: Michael Mancuso’ Name: Michael Edward Mancuso Age: 22 Hometown: Yeadon, PA.

Rosh Hashanah itself is known as a “Day of Judgment.” Individuals do not work during Rosh Hashanah and take part in prayer and . self-examination. These prayers are meant to review the following year with gratitude and ask for a thriving year to come. There is also a ritual meal prepared in accordance to tradition and symbolic importance. For example, apple is dipped in honey to signify a sweet new year to come. Another important ritual of the holiday includes the Tashlich in which participants tread through flowing water while praying. During Tashlich, members ~ symbolically throw the sins of that year into the water to represent cleansing and a new beginning.
