*HURRICANE IKE AFTERMATH AND COMMENTS*

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

what?! 

does that have it hitting TX/LA?

[KFDM COOP]

That will change though, it's to far out!! Keep that away!

[bullets13]

what the deuce?

[PURPLE 4EVER]

IKE will.....

TURN NORTH!

Coop....

What is the strongest hurricane to hit New England?

If Ike turns north and goes up the east coast, talk about a huge miss on the Long Island, Rhode Island, and Conn. shore line.

Would be double worse if the eye wall went just west of Manhattan.

Talk about a storm surge going into Hudson Bay.

Lets hope it turns north then doubles back east.

[KFDM COOP]

I would have to look back on the New England storm.

[WOS87]

I would have to look back on the New England storm.

The 1938 storm that hit Long Island, Connecticut and Rhode Island has to rank up there

[KFDM COOP]

I agree!!

What percent is there that it moves west across florida and into the gulf?

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

I'm no where near an expert, just going by what was/is/has been explained to me.

Ike does have a chance to get into the gulf but, wouldn't likely go far without heading north, due to several factors: 1) Strong storms will find an easy weakness in a ridge then take off or get taken away by any trough 2) Gulf westerlies (dont ask).

If I lived in Florida, or knew someone there, there would be some major cause for concern but don't think Ike hits as a Cat 5. But heck, Cat 1 is enough for me!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

if im FLA im preparing now

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

I retract a few sentiments of my post. Ike looks to be a GOM major player now.

[Guest baseball25]

you can never trust these storms.........Katrina hit NO..and then rita hit us.....now NO got a storm last week........could we get a storm late next week?????interesting...

[KFDM COOP]

[Lazeek]

Any chance of a more westerly direction once it enters the Gulf instead of the models that have it turning to the NW????

[KFDM COOP]

Possible!

[CardinalFan]

One long range model shows it just offshore Sabine Pass stationary for 2 days before finally coming into Sabine Pass.

i've seen 2 tracks that take it to SP/PA next week, BUT all the others, and there is alot that take it straight into N.O./Mississippi.Maybe Gustav was just a quiz, and Ike is the test.

[AggiesAreWe]

Possible!

Spoken like a true meteorologists. ;D
