Consistent with the equation, the total dollar amount is always the same for each side. In other words, the left and right sides of a balance sheet are always in balance.
Hurricane Ike was the first hurricane to hit the Houston area since Hurricane Jerry in October of 1989 and the first big hurricane to hit since Hurricane Alicia in 1983. Ike is the hurricane that changed the Saffir-Simpson scale, the scale that rates how strong a hurricane is, as we know it.
