Hurricane Ike Update
Hurricane Ike’s cone is still showing it is tracking to south and west. For the Naples, Bonita Springs and Estero areas of Florida it means the center of the storm may pass within about 200 miles of the coastline which disminishes the chances of the area feeling the full brunt of Ike.
The track towards the south does not help our friends in the Gulf Coast areas as the storm appears it will not pass over the mountainous areas of Cuba. It the storm passes over the mountainous areas of Cuba the storm will weaken. Currently the storm is a CAT-4 with winds of 145 mph.
The Florida Keys have started evacuations and hurricane preparations.
