Re: Huge Hurricane Ike in Gulf, Hurricane Watches Issued

Yes, realy incredibly odd. Pressure down to 952 hPa and still this weak center. Ike is approaching his deepest pressure before reaching Kuba, as he had been a cat. 4 and now it´s barely a cat.2.



I was very struck by that too. 952 MB seems veryvery low for a 100 MPH storm.
And it's getting larger, unreal.

Great thanks to all who donated and everyone who uses the site as well. Site designed for 1920x1080+ resolution.
When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
