Re: Huge Hurricane Ike in Gulf, Hurricane Watches Issued
|
To answer MikeC's question above, I do not remember a storm evolving in quite the way that Ike has. The strangest thing to me is the presence of the very small, compact inner eyewall in the middle of such a huge, broad circulation. It is like a storm within a storm.
The 7PM CDT advisory has the radius of hurricane-force winds up to 115 miles.
