Take a look at that Ike. God help us if that baby moves west right down the Florida Keys. This one has me a bit spooked. On the positive side, maybe it turns North before threading the needle between the Keys and Cuba and maybe since it is so strong already it burns itself out and does not hold that strength. And maybe I’m just spooked cause my wife and I now have a ten week old infant in the house since 10 days ago. We’re in the process of adopting her granddaughter for reasons I won’t get into right now. Damn, I don’t like the looks of this one.
