Like a homing pigeon Ike is zooming in on Texas:

Geetrue, I like that prediction better, it has Ike coming well south of me

Lucky you. It's coming right near me.

Pace yourselves, kids; it's going to be a long week. Shall we go down with the ship, Neal?

Well, the track looks good in two places...away from LA and Neal but....Stealth Hunter will have to weather the storm.

Lots of casualties in the Caribbean nations, and lots of economic damage. Always a tough hit for a poor nation that most of them are, maybe only Cuba is prepared to handle these things.

Jimbuna gave a clear instruction to the weather Gods and told them his arrival was imminent and that they should not invoke the wrath of the Grey Wolves. :p

Seriously though guys....good luck and keep yourselves safe.

Hope all this doesn't cause problems for the Subsim meet next month.

Latest model spread...looks like Central MO will get another couple days of rain from the remnants.

Here are a few links for reference...

US Navy Fleet and Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center

Stormpulse web based tracking

Various NOAA GEOS Satellite views

and Finally...to show how much a geek I can be...

Probably not this one, but perhaps the next one will be the kind that just sits out there in the middle of the gulf of mexico churning up the water going no where for three days or so.

Everybody scatters when those kind come along

Well, based on current events, I have to say that I don't like Ike.

Onkel Neal · 09-09-08, 10:42 PM

Dang it, now the models have Ike sliding north again.

As of 2300 hours Sept 9, the general landfall appears to be north of Corpus.

I can't believe that I forgot the Holy Grail of Hurricane tracking...

National Hurricane Center

Anyway...Neil, it looks like the experts are floating towards the GFDL model which is the blue line in the graphic I posted.

On a side note...it has a 957mb pressure reading, which equates to a CAT-3 hurricane...but the surface winds are 90mph which is CAT-1. Once the surface winds catch up to the pressure...it's going to get nasty. I suspect when it gets well into the Gulf and feeds on the warm loop currents it will get the highest reading.

Well that's just wonderful.

Haven't seen anything on the news about evacuations, not that I'm planning on leaving (I haven't for the past 5 years when hurricanes have hit).
