Re: Hanna Approaches Carolinas, Ike Remains Major

That's a negative Lee.

Today's 5am and 11am public advisories were 35 hurricane and 105 tropical. BUT you are right, yesterday at 5pm they were 45.

If you go to NHC's site a click on Advisory Archive (on the left) you can go back to any advisory/discussion/map since the storm became "named" a follow it's evolution along.

Although, when he was "just" a tropical storm, at one point the Tropical Storm force winds extended out 175 mi. from center.

Kooky question: When we start getting 3 hourly updates...is it still only the 5 & 11 am/pm hours that they update the forecasted track and the 8 & 2 am/pm hours are just "intermediates" with no forecasted track updates?

I know they update speed, movement but do they do the tracks too?
