Re: ECMWF Called this landfall back on labor day weekend

Ike is looking much better right now...a little better definition on the eye, but more importantly, he is breathing much better out of his West side. He had been very lopsided with only 2 quadrants really brreathing, maybe 3, and now all 4 seem to be doing so. This may be enough to help him strengthen a little, lets just hope his winds don't catch up to his pressure level.

Right now we are looking at 94mph winds at our home as he passes directly over according to this:
