We know what Hanna (we got some good rain that we needed this morning from her) is going to do, travel up the east coast as a tropical storm but right now all eyes are on Ike, including my own (I live in the greater Fort Lauderdale area). People are comparing Ike to Andrew, which I can see. Compact but powerful.

Current tracks put Ike going below Florida though the lower Keys and then paralleling the gulf coast of Florida, Ike’s strongest winds going up the entire coast.  This is not looking good for anyone in south Florida.

We are still watching Ike.  He could hit us here in southeastern Florida but now it is looking like he’ll make his way into the gulf.

Also, gas lines are starting to form here.  I saw a few stations that had lines going into the street.  Luckily, both of our vehicles are full but I may get up early to top off one of the cars tomorrow.
