NHC 11PM is very conservative on Ike's future intensity

Ike has that 'look' this evening of becoming a formidable hurricane very soon. It has a small eye but a large area of circulation to pull in and focus a lot of energy. I expect significant strengthening over the next 48 hours with a very favorable environment with the loop current providing extra fuel to intensify. Look at this pic of Camille. She had a small eye but also had a large circulation in the Gulf.
