Since you brought up IKE, I live near Baytown, Texas and the winds really torn things up.
A friend up mine that lives near Lake Conroe, which is a little farther North and West of me, said that during the Hurricane she had three Rubies going through their normal routine at her feeders. Except of course, the feeders were moving almost as fast as they were flying.
p.s. Another bird that made itself known following the Hurricane was the little house wren. It seems like they were everywhere and extremely disturbed that their trees were blown down.
