roncli.com blog: More Ike images

Ike moves closer to shore, and actually took a jog to the north over the last 2 hours. This may spare Galveston from the worst of the hurricane.

It is still the strongest of category 2 hurricanes at 110 miles per hour, and it's slowed down a bit. Landfall is now predicted to be just before sunrise.

I actually got a chance to play some World of Warcraft, a much needed stress reliever for me. Power flashed off and on twice over the past three hours, but nothing too disruptive that I couldn't handle. The rain has started, although the winds haven't picked up too noticeably over the last few hours. I'm sure that's all about to change.

Here are some more images.

ike17.jpg: A false color image of Ike... very, very impressive looking. We should be in for one helluva ride.
