The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Hurricane Ike came onshore across extreme southeast Texas during the late night hours of September 12th and the pre-dawn hours of September 13th. The storm made good progress northward during the day of September 13th and brought Tropical Storm force winds to much of northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana and extreme southwest Arkansas. The storm produced widespread downed trees and power lines along with structural damage either from the winds or from downed trees which fell on top of structures. Power outages were widespread across a three state area of northeast Texas, northwest Louisiana and southwest Arkansas. Southwest Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) which provides electricity to a good portion of northeast Texas, northwest Louisiana and southwest Arkansas said that the number of outages peaked at 187,000 customers. Additional power companies were called in from far away as Indiana and Michigan to deal with the numerous power outages. This was the second most number of outages at one time reported in SWEPCO's 96 year history. The most number of outages was 234,000 during the ice storm of December 13th, 2000. The number of power outages in association with Hurricane Ike topped the September 2005 recovery from Hurricane Rita by nearly 1000 customers. The storm also produced tornadoes across portions of north central Louisiana as well as south central Arkansas and east central Texas.

.DISCUSSION...
HURRICANE IKE MADE LANDFALL OVER GLS BAY EARLY THIS MORNING AS A STRONG
CAT 2 HURRICANE...AS IS EXPECTED TO LIFT N ACROSS E TX THROUGH MUCH OF
THE DAY. DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT INLAND WARNINGS...ALTHOUGH
I DID MAKE A NEW INLAND TROPICAL WIND WARNING SET TO BEGIN AT NOON
/TIL 7PM/ FOR THE 5 DEEP E TX COUNTIES CURRENTLY UNDER THE INLAND
HURRICANE WIND WARNING...AS IKE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN OVER LAND AS
HE APPROACHES THE WRN PART OF E TX. WIND GUSTS HAVE STRUGGLED TO REACH
HURRICANE FORCE JUST AWAY FROM THE CENTER...WITH MOST GUSTS REPORTED
NEAR THE COAST. PER THE WIND RADIUS GUIDANCE FROM NHC...HAVE SHORTENED
THE DURATION TIME ON THE INLAND TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNING TO
MIDNIGHT...AS THE STORM SHOULD WEAKEN TO A DEPRESSION BY THIS TIME AS
HE IS EXPECTED TO BE CENTERED JUST W OF TXK BY 6Z. ALSO ADDED A WIND
ADV. FOR SE OK/SW AR TODAY/TONIGHT FOR SUSTAINED WINDS INCREASING TO
25-35 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 50 MPH BY THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. WILL
ALLOW LATER SHIFTS TO CANCEL THE INLAND WARNINGS AS NEEDED AND REPLACE
WITH WIND ADVISORIES...AS IKE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN OVER THE FORECAST AREA.
THE 00Z GFS RUN CAME IN NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THE NHC TRACK...AND THE
CONSISTENT ECMWF...LIFTING IKE NWD ACROSS E TX AND INTO SE OK/AW AR
AFTER 6Z...BEFORE ACCELERATING THE REMNANTS NE ACROSS WCNTRL AR BY
12Z. THE MAIN CONCERN FROM IKE WILL BE THE VERY STRONG WINDS/ISOLATED
TORNADO THREAT...GIVEN THE VERY STRONG SHEAR NEAR AND EAST OF THE
CENTER. SHOULD THE ERN SECTIONS OF SCNTRL AR/NCNTRL LA GET MUCH IN THE
WAY OF INSULATION TODAY...WHICH I THINK THEY WILL...HELICITY VALUES
WILL INCREASE CONSIDERABLY TO SUPPORT THE TORNADO THREAT. GIVEN PW/S
OF 2.25-2.5+ AHEAD OF IKE...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLASH FLOODING WILL INCREASE ESPECIALLY OVER E TX/SE OK/SW AR/WCNTRL
LA...WITH AMOUNTS OF 4-6 LIKELY...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS UP TO 10
POSSIBLE WHERE ANY CELL TRAINING OCCURS. HOWEVER...GRADUAL NWD MOTION
/UNLIKE GUSTAV/ MAY HELP LIMIT THE OVERALL FLASH FLOOD THREAT. BUT
SOILS REMAIN VERY SATURATED IN WAKE OF THE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FROM
GUSTAV...THUS THE STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY UPROOT NUMEROUS TREES/POWER
LINES AREAWIDE.
BELIEVE THAT THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH BY SUNDAY
MORNING...AS THE REMNANTS OF IKE RACE NE INTO NRN AR/MID MS VALLEY. SW
QUADRANT WILL BECOME QUICKLY DRY-SLOTTED...THUS ENDING THE FLOOD
THREAT AHEAD OF THE ATTENDANT COLD FRONT THAT WILL DIG SE THROUGH THE
REGION SUNDAY. THUS...HAVE TAPERED OFF POPS CONSIDERABLY FROM NW TO SE
DURING THE DAY...AND WILL ALLOW THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO EXPIRE AT
4 AM AS SCHEDULED. THERE MAY BE AN ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN THREAT OVER THE
SRN/ERN SECTIONS OF NCNTRL LA THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG/AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...BUT CONFIDENCE JUST ISN/T HIGH ENOUGH ATTM TO CONTINUE THE
WATCH...GIVEN THE EXTENSIVE DRY SLOTTING ALOFT.
MUCH COOLER/DRIER AIR WILL BUILD SEWRD SUNDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT...WITH
THE GFS CONTINUING TO ADVERTISE 850MB TEMPS OF 8-10C BUILDING SWD INTO
THE LOWER MS VALLEY BEHIND THE FRONT. BELOW NORMAL TEMPS/DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED UNDER
THE DRY NW FLOW ALOFT...WHICH WILL BE GOOD FOR CLEANUP EFFORTS IN WAKE
OF IKE.
ENTIRE SUITE OF PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED/SENT...SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
