Hanna Dumps Rain, Ike weakens then strengthens again - UPDATED TRACKS, COMPUTER MODELS, SATELLITE PHOTO + VIDEO LINK

Hurricane Ike's satellite image tells you everything, doesn't it? Ike has become a bigger storm, still a major system but Ike hasn't become necessarily more or less powerful over the last period.
You can see the entrails of Hanna at the top of the image. After hovering for several days over Haiti, as Ike neared Hanna race with unprecedented speed over the eastern seaboard.

Here's the 5 day track for Ike with another projection below showing likely strength patterns. It looks right now as though Ike is headed for New Orleans. Does that place have bad harma or something?

Computer models are fairly consistent (see below).

The computer modelling for Ike projects weakening, strengthening, weaking again and then strengthening once clear of Cuba. Once in the Gulf Ike could threaten Florida or Louisianna. Currently Ike is a Cat 3 Hurricane (Ike weakened very briefly to Cat 2 status) and is now visiting areas previously drenched by first Gustav and then Hanna (such as flood ravaged Haiti).

clipped from news.yahoo.com Hanna hits Carolina shore AP RALEIGH, N.C. - Tropical Storm Hanna accelerated toward New England on Saturday after the storm's whipping winds and rain didn't linger long enough over the Southeast to cause much more than some isolated flooding and power outages. Hanna moved quickly inland after cruising ashore overnight with winds of around 50 mph. But as the storm cleared out of the Southeast, eyes turned to the open Atlantic and the nasty looking Hurricane Ike — again a Category 3 storm with 115 mph winds that was expected to strengthen as it approached Cuba and southern Florida by Monday. Heavy rain fell in the Carolinas, including 5 inches in Fayetteville and the Sandhills region. The same was forecast for central Virginia, Maryland and southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New York and New England, where some spots could get up to 10 inches. Forecasters warned of the potential for flash flooding in the northern mid-Atlantic states and southern New England.
