Hanna remains a threat to the U.S. Atlantic coast while the storm spent several days stalled and meandering between the Southeast Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and Hispanola. The islands have been battered with winds and torrential rains.

Ike continues to strengthen, reaching hurricane status Wednesday afternoon. The storm continues to move toward the Bahamas and U.S.

Cleanup efforts continued along the Gulf of Mexico states following Hurricane Gustav. Baton Rouge, LA has widespread wind damage and power outages. New Orleans residents were allowed to return to their homes despite Mayor Nagin's reservations amid power outages. President George Bush arrived in Baton Rouge Wednesday to survey the damage from the storm.

The U.S. death toll for Hurricane Gustav is 16, including evacuation casualties and post-storm tornadoes.

I don’t like Ike.

Ike looks like really bad news.

Ike looks like it wants to visit the entire Bahama chain. I’m sure they would rather not have that tourist.

Ike looks like really bad news.

Everyone in the town of Tina is very worried.

[AnAmericanMother]

Thank you for all your work on these threads!

I often lurk, but this is the first time it has been of personal interest in awhile, since my parents live on a tidal island in coastal GA - just above St Simons Island.

Thanks to Hannah's dithering in circles in the lower Bahamas, it looks like she's predicted to miss the folks by the majority of the models -- (how historically accurate is the NGPS model? It's the outlier right now -- but it sends Hannah right over my parents' house!)

[dfwgator]

Yep, looks like Miami-Ft Lauderdale are definately going to be “in play” with Ike.

Brevard County, Florida ... ping to the new thread.

Let me know if you want on or off this list.

“Teddy” is gonna be a soaked, sodden and bloated storm....mark my words. Water everywhere and lots of sunken vehicles.

[NautiNurse]

Hanna moving N at 12 mph, winds 60 mph 987 mb. Hurricane
Warning issued for northwestern Bahamas.

Hurricane Ike winds 80 mph, 984 mb, moving WNW at 18 mph.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 290 miles from
the center, mainly to the north.

Josephine weakened due to shear. Winds 60 mph, 997 mb,
moving W at 13 mph.

I predict hurricane Teddy to be HUGH windy SERIES blow that leaves us underwater. Teddy will knock down bridges and damage many autos especially Oldsmobiles. It will probably stay around and pester us for ages.

[Rightly Biased]

Wind Shear is a good thing

thanks for the update NN

[Arm_Bears]

I’ve resigned myself to my dock being underwater until NOV.

[NautiNurse]

We got the outer bands of Hanna almost stationary over us. There’s a flash flood warning for most of the island and a special marine advisory for the seas south of us. The storm has been blamed for two deaths here. Two exchange students from Brazil were swept away by a cresting river.

The wx and FEMA people here say we can expect two more days of this, and that we should be ready for the tail of Ike to bring even more rain over the weekend.

But to us in Puerto Rico this is largely an inconvenience. I really feel for the poor people of Haiti.

Thank you for your local report. Hispanola has been pummeled by tropical storms this season.

Please check in and provide updates when you are able. Take care. You are in my prayers.

[Elle Bee]

thanks for all of your good work

By this date in 2005 storm names had reached Maria. 2005 was the year storm names reached Zeta in the Greek alphabet.

SE FL is in the ominous five day cone of uncertainty.

I should receive an honorary engineering degree for designing these multi-storm threads.
