So...Where's IKE gonna hit???

[arks]

Here we go again.
It's still a few days out, but it's not looking so good for Texas.
I'm going to say landfall will be near Galveston. What say you?

LF would tend to agree with you......................... at least at this point in time.

I beieve the forecasters have a big wheel like on "Wheel of Fortune" with states and city names on the wheel. Every hour, one of them spins the wheel and that's the latest prediction of landfall.

The 5 day forcast up at the National Weather Center at the moment has it going to Corpus Christi. It seems to be moving further and further SW as time goes on, so it just may end up in Mexico.

Its a hard thing to wish a storm like this on another region, but I'm just glad that it looks like it isn't going to head for Louisiana for a "one-two punch."

Somewhere between Florida and Texas.

Those computer models have been off pretty much the entire track.

When it gets into the gulf, they will get more accurate.

The track has changed considerably since yesterday.

Looks like we will be lucky once again. I feel for anyone it Ike's path, it'll be a large and very powerful storm as it moves across the Gulf of Mexico.

the way this crazy thing is behaving, it may turn and hit Veracruz.

I don't think it'll it the US. Like was said above, the track has been pushed further sw since IKE was born. I'm glad it's headed away from the oil rigs.

Re: So...Where's IKE gonna hit???

It all depends on the current high pressure. If it stays in place and remains strong, it might head into Mexico. We have to watch this closley over the next few days. If it does stay in place, then the storm should move quickly across the Gulf and into lower Texas or Mexico, if not, we're in trouble.

That's exactly why they call it weather

Cuz they don't know whether it is or whether it ain't

I feel sorry for the folks on the coast... but we need some rain over here!!! Flood one year... dry up the next.

I'll vote with the Corpus Christi bunch.

Re: So...Where's IKE gonna hit???

I dunno- the latest forecast seems to suggest the track possibly curling a bit north again, so we'll see. At least the Texas coast has had plenty of time to prepare.
