kingu posted this IR photo of Ioke on the Ernesto thread. Wake Island is the black dot 2 squares right and 2 squares down from the upper left corner:
As of the last update, the storm was 130nm from Wake Island, and moving in its general direction. It looks like Wake will take a direct hit.

FYI - the URL auto updates, so the current track (0000Zulu on 8/31, which I think is 8PM Eastern today) is in Post 18.
kingu got Wake Island reported speed readings from somewhere (I don't know where, since there has been no NWS METAR update at Wake Airport (PWAK) since 8/28): 43 knot winds with 55 knot gusts. Was that from estimated or buoy data?
