Hurricane Ike may go down the pike

As of 8 AM today, it looks like Hurricane Ike might spare south Florida... even from tropical force winds. Bad news for Cuba, though, as this Category 4 storm with 135 MPH winds is scheduled to roll through the center of the island on it's way to the Gulf.

Ike predicted to go further south

Even if Hurricane Ike doesn't hit us directly with his 135 MPH winds, the hurricane winds extend 45 miles, and tropical force winds 140 miles from the center. The good news for us is that with each advisory, the predicted path is further and further to our south.

Flooded today, Ike on the way?

The heavy rain started in the middle of the night and continued through 10 AM as Tropical Storm Hanna passed 200 miles offshore on her journey north. Flooding was a problem this morning on roads and in parking lots, but the rain is tapering off now and the water will recede.


Meanwhile, Hurricane Ike is weakening and tracking further south. We're not sure what this means for us, but South Floridians are starting to prepare just in case.

Stronger Ike Still Headed our Way

Hurricane Ike is still strong and now aiming even more towards us.

Hurricane Ike, Cat 4, headed our way??

Hurricane Ike is a Category 4 storm with 135 MPH sustained winds and higher gusts. The five-day cone puts South Florida in its path!



Meanwhile, Hanna is steering clear of us and is heading north in the Atlantic.

Four Storms at Once

There are an amazing four active storms in the Atlantic. Our immediate concern is Tropical Storm Hanna.

Storms Everywhere!

Gustav made landfall, Hanna is now a hurricane with 75 MPH winds and maybe going north (or maybe not). Tropical Depression #9 just formed in the Atlantic and is presently aiming at South Florida. More storms are following!

Cat 3 Gustav Makes Landfall, Tropical Storm Hanna Heads North?

Gustav is making landfall right now as a Category 3 Storm in Louisiana! Sustained winds are 115 MPH. Reportedly, over 2 million people evacuated ahead of the storm.



Hanna continues to make twists and turns. She's still a tropical storm with 50 MPH winds, and may or may not hit us.
