Few of us remember Hurricane Ike as vividly as we remember Katrina and Sandy. But for people down in Houston, Texas, the 2008 storm was a major wake-up call.
So, what happens when another Ike -- a mightier Ike -- hits the Houston region? Will it be ready?
This hour, we go behind the scenes of a new investigation to find out.
We also look at how states in the Northeast are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, and prepping for more events like it in the years to come.
