Re: Ike - Buoy 42361 - 108.8 knots (130.56 mph) or 108.8 mph?

Long range radar out of both Lake Charles and Houston indicates that Ike is attempting to form an eyewall, The would-be eyewall is still made up of various banding features at this point, but it is looking more organized that it did earlier.

Storm surge in excess of 8 feet has already been reported around Cameron, LA and in the Galveston area.

edit: Storm surge of 8.3 feet has also been recently reported at Sabine Pass.
