Where in the U.S. will Hurricane Ike make landfall?

Hurricane Ike makes landfall in Texas

Background:

Similar to the Hanna question here: http://www.hubdub.com/m15037/Where_in_the_US_will_Hurricane_Hanna_make_landfall

This question only considers U.S. states, not U.S. territories or other countries. Question asks where storm will make landfall (aka where the eye crosses dry land).


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
