I had the right show just the wrong day. This thing is a beast! TS winds extend out 510 miles, that's 70% larger than a normal hurricane!

It's gonna be awful I know that, the pressure is already at a Category 4 strength it's just gonna take time for Ike's winds to catch up to it.

They probably will go into Storm Alert when A&B or EE starts on Friday evening.

  Has anyone noticed that Ike is almost the same size as Katrina was?

That's why certain songs get you a copyright claim message as soon as you upload them. I've gotten about 5 or 6 claims with the new account I have.

You mean Walker/Brown...

Anyway, the Keys *probably* aren't going to be hit, and by the time Ike gets over Cuba, there's a chance that it might not even restrengthen to major hurricane status before hitting the U.S. We all saw what happened to Gustav after it got into the Gulf; it actually weakened. I guess we'll see what happens with Ike.

What happened to Gustav and what's happening to Ike are completely different. Gustav weakened into the GOM because dry air choked it off. Unlike Ike who's been able to fight against 30 knots of shear and cooler water in the past w/o weakening. The reason it's weakening now is because it's going through an ERWC. There isn't much dry air this time in the Gulf so it COULD explode again once it's out there. Just look at yseterday it went from a Cat. 2 - 4 in just a few hours.
I would be more worried about if that through pulls it north into Flordia before it gets too far west.

I thought Ike is going to take a similar path as Hanna?

Not according to the latest track that wants to take it into the GOM again.

BTW, is the NHC gonna retire the name "Gustav" ?

I think they have to add up the damage first and make an estimate cost before that happens.

I don't also understand why schools start on August. I mean August just doesn't "fit" the standard month of September when school starts. Like some schools start on Aug 7th where is too much heat and sun. It's still the middle of summer, kids need a break rather going back so early.

Last year I had to walk home from school in 105 degree weather because I didn't have anyone to pick me up. That was around Mid August on the first day of school.
