Re: Hanna Approaches Carolinas, Ike Remains Major

When a person looks at that satellite link that was posted or any of the ones that are similar to that it looks as if the flow is from the Bahamas up to the NW into Florida.

People are very skeptical of the SW movement Ike is supposed to have and are worried. I don't see it on the loop yet. Not a real SW movement or WSW but more a south of west movement.

It looks as if a person took a knob and turned it round half way to the right and everything turns a bit towards the west or wnw. Look at Hanna who seems to be moving more west. The flow from Ike goes down a bit and then turns up around 10 pm on a clock. That would be northwest.

If you loop this you will see what I am talking about. If Ike does not start to move more south and he keeps moving fast as he is then would they pull the cone up a bit to the north?

Any information would be helpful. Thank you.
