Ike is the danger man. Beautiful shape compared to Hanna's sputtering mess, and moving at a blistering 18mph which is the only good news - Ike's pace is preventing him from becoming a lot more powerful.
Tropical storm Hanna continues to sit and spin north of Hispaniola, with top sustained winds still below minimal hurricane strength. But forecasters at the National Hurricane Center say she is poised to begin her long-forecast run north and west toward the U.S. mainland.
"THE INTENSITY FORECAST BASICALLY REMAINS UNCHANGED AND FOLLOWS THE
SHIPS INTENSITY MODEL...WITH HANNA EXPECTED TO REGAIN HURRICANE
STATUS BY 36 HOURS AND CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY UNTIL LANDFALL OCCURS" Next up is Ike. Here's the latest advisory. Ike is expected to become a hurricane sometime today. Top sustained winds are now around 65 mph. Here's the storm track, which takes it into the Bahamas by Sunday. Those folks are having a bad time. And here's how he looks from orbit. A fine-looking storm.
