Rodents are like roaches - they seem to survive everything.
The Wake NOAA station recorded a 98.6 MPH wind gust as of the last reading about half an hour ago, and 72 MPH sustained winds - less than 2 MPH short of hurricane strength. Pressure is down to 968.80mb - and still falling fast.
Given the trend, Typhoon Ioke has arrived likely on Wake by now.
This shot just came down the pipe - same perspective as the last one, black dot is Wake Island, and it's not at the heart of the storm yet.
The little weather station that could. Still on the clean side of the storm, and it looks like the eye is going to brush past, probably the worst case for the island.
