Re: Huge Hurricane Ike in Gulf, Hurricane Watches Issued

Ike has transformed into something incredibly odd since crossing Cuba. I can't recall anything like it since I've been watching these things. If anyone else has a good example of something similar to Ike, please let me know.



Couldn't agree more. Storms are definately larger in this cycle (multi decadal). I think at some point as Ike moves further west the entire Gulf will be covered by his outflow. We are still feeling and seeing the energy on the east coast of Florida and we are 450 miles away.
