Ike really never got that MW... but those two thing sur even though IK down to Depression or less...sure played with each other... even in western Kentucky over hurricane gusts... and sustained TS for 4 hours from the two of them getting together. (vs the 24 hours we had here, but with much less damage... odd for up there... we are used to it.... both plants and homes) That was the bigest wind whack but a mini foot print tornado they have gotten in quite some time.

The other team heading North (who were crowing about getting first class tickets) connected in Atlanta with a final destination of MSP got stuck for the night in Atlanta.. :> We felt so bad for them that we called them 3 or 4 times from MSP to ask if they were there yet (aren't we mean?) ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21139953 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 23:14:58 EDT Re: [Member Check-In] Official 2008 Storm Thread - Part Deux http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21100295 ropeguru : Well, got the word today that there is a verbal commitment for several incident management teams to be called up to go to Texas once Ike moves through.

And you know I don't mean to gloat (because we were a scary Cat 4 bulls eye that had friends who never had thinking of leaving were getting ready to)
Up to Cat 3 is one thing 4 and 5 is a whole other story.

But as far as its going west to be away I doubt we will even see a significant breeze or surf in KW.

aat work it took out 2 large UPS, our Novell Server that had been up and online for almost 2000 straight days (that mad me mad worse than anything i wanted to see it hit the 6 years uptime mark!), and a bunch of carpet.

That last dot out there is NOT KW that is Ft Jeff/Dry Tortugas... 60 mi west, KW is the west end of the big blob.

The one worry is Ike doesn't just plow into N Central Cuba but richochettes off (As Georges did in 98) .. but keeps continually shifting west even that might not be that bad. (48 hours ago bulls eye was Miami)

I would suspect with the the continualy western movement of the hook, final would be more toward TX, but at the moment not looking real good for NOLA again :(

This continues another 12 hours I would not be surprised they don't lift the mandatory res evac schecduled for late Sun/Mon, unless it really intensifies again. They have already allowed Womens Week events to complete and have them leave Sun when most already had scheduled flights out, rather than orig Sat.

If it keeps it current characteristics, looks like it could be another RITA... feeding off the Gulf stream, and following the loop curent into the Gulf passing us just to the south.

The northern hook, has been marching steadily westward and now center trak is out over the Marcasas. That last do you see is not Key West, we are the last large one.

Danger could be goes far enough south, but N of Cuba rather than plowing into Cuban Mts... it ricochets off at the last min.

Emergency management is meeting tomorrow, my guess it tourists will be thrown out as of Sat morning, making for an early end to Women's Week.

Especially will an east approching storm, evacuating the Keys means moving towards (right at it) and then finding somplace safer.
