Hanna has maximum winds of 65mph, and is forecast to be a Category 1 Hurricane through Thursday, the track takes it directly towards Florida (on the Miami side), though the track is now modified for a more easterly route (over the ocean parallel to Florida's coastline) . Florida's Gov. Charlie Crist issued a state of emergency yesterday.
Overnight Hanna has weakened, and struggling to form and organise over the Haiti landmass. Hanna is not really moving, there is some southward shifting, but essentially the system is stalled and drenching Haiti. Meanwhile Ike has gained strength now equal to his westerly sister.

Another system, Karina, has formed to the west.
