Re: Ike Approaches Texas

Hate to say this, but there are extremely cold cloud tops that are about to close a ring off around the core. This would seem to indicate that some strengthening is occurring, and we may see Cat 3 winds before this storm makes landfall. I wouildn't be surprised to see the eye clear out in the next couple of hours.....but I guess that's a moot point at this stage. Hope everyone gets out of the coastal areas.
