roncli.com blog: Ike 4 PM CDT images

Courtesy of Google Earth!

ike4.jpg: This shows the projected path (the multi-colored one with the hurricane icons on them), along with the leading models that say, we're pretty much screwed.

ike5.jpg: Same data, but a detail of the Houston and surrounding area. Again, screwed.

ike6.jpg: This image is almost unbelievable. Look at the size of this thing! It's a beast, bigger than Katrina was. It's still spreading rain across Cuba, Florida's just now getting left alone but still has some rogue bands affecting it, Yucatan's got some incoming bands, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi will all feel something if this goes much more north, and of course Texas... yah, screwed.

ike7.jpg: This piece of spaghetti is... well... spaghetti. That's why it's called the spaghetti models, a whole bunch of hurricane position forecasting programs, all on one map. No surprise, Houston is a tangled mess.

I just noticed that between the 1 pm advisery and the 4 pm advisery that the storm is actually now back on a WNW track, which, unlike what I said in my last post, means that the storm's models are actually working as intended. But with my experience with Rita, nothing's certain yet.

Be back at 7, after I've boarded up the windows. I'll be checking email all day, so if you have any questions, let me know.
