what they are showing on the news right now, it looks like Galveston is going to be wiped off the map like in 1900
because people 100 miles inland don't need to leave.
models have it a little more westerly this morning.
winds are also up 5 mph from last night.
But the wind field for Ike is significant.
IKE REMAINS A VERY LARGE TROPICAL CYCLONE. HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 120 MILES...195 KM...FROM THE CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 275 MILES...445 KM. AN OIL PLATFORM IN THE NORTHWESTERN GULF OF MEXICO RECENTLY REPORTED SUSTAINED WINDS OF 109 MPH...176 KM/HR...AT AN ELEVATION OF 400 FEET.
