Instead of a small tight ring of the strongest Category 2 winds wrapped around the eye, Ike’s maximum sustained winds extend out a whopping 80 miles from the center. The maximum wind field is jaw dropping.
Looks like the center is going to pass over my roof..bummer.
Hmmm, Ike might go north of me. Still a cat 2, things are looking better and better all the time.
Greg Bostwick at KFDM-6 in Beaumont just predicting high possibility of 5-7 ft of water in south Jefferson County below I-10, assuming levee will overtop. Recommending to get out to higher ground.
A lot of people who weren’t leaving here before are now taking off in the morning. We’re headed to Dallas.
What a pisser...
