HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) -- The U.S. military has evacuated 200 people from Wake Island before the arrival of Typhoon Ioke, the strongest Central Pacific hurricane in more than decade.
Classified as a Category 5 "super typhoon," Ioke is expected to extensively damage the U.S. territory when it hits Wednesday with 155-mph winds, said Jeff Powell, lead forecaster for the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
"This is going to roll up a storm surge that will probably submerge the island and destroy everything that's not made of concrete," Powell said.
The evacuees, mostly American and Thai contractors, on Monday were flown to Hickam Air Force Base on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, said Maj. Clare Reed, a spokeswoman for the 15th Airlift Wing.
The contractors work at a civilian base, Reed said. No other permanent residents live on the tiny island, she said.
Ioke had winds of 160 mph and gusts up to 185 mph on Monday, Powell said.
The storm was 560 miles southeast of Wake Island and on track for a direct hit, according to the forecast.
Wake Island is 2,300 miles west of Honolulu and 1,510 miles east of Guam. The storm is expected to strike at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, or noon Thursday on the island.

Well, I'm glad that they took the warnings seriously. Who wouldn't? After a Cat.5 is fuming towards you.

this has been an amazing storm ... model has it passing near or over Japan around Sept. 7. If it gets there it will have covered about 4200 miles in a little less than 3 weeks

Does anybody know how Wake Island is doing today?? I understand the highest point of elev. was 18 ft and they were expecting storm surges of over 40ft. Also there was one meter. staying behind to record data so I was just seeing what has happened to Wake Island???

According to Masters' blog the automated station reported winds to 78 mph gusting to 100 mph and a pressure of 934 mb before it failed. The storm passed north of Wake so the surge probably wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Currently Ioke is down to 115 kts. ... weakest it has been in over a week. Next dot of land in its path is Minami Tori Shima ... should pass north of there in about 36 hrs. forecast track puts it SE of Tokyo at 120 hrs. moving NW. Winds still expected to be 100 kts. by then.

I wouldn't think that Wake took on 40 foot storm surge - this would be a bit of a stretch in any tropical cyclone, let alone being on the western quadrants.
Here are some amazing 3D-enhanced and close-up images of Ioke passing Wake.

Wow, Ioke has been a crazy one.
Sat. image plus track all one one:: http://www.angelfire.com/planet/sieklone06/ioke-sat-track.htm
I can't believe how far it's come already. Looks like it wants to pay JPN a visit before it's all said and done.

Looks like the end of the road is finally in sight. The forecast calls for the storm to recurve around 145 E, a couple hundred miles east of Japan. Winds down to 110 kts. and expected to slowly spin down. Still an impressive journey.

Ioke is now expected to transition into a very powerful 965mb extra-tropical cyclone and impact the Aleutians and southern Alaska.
NWS Anchorage:
MODEL UNCERTAINTY EXISTS WITH NEXT STORM TO IMPACT THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN
WED/THU. THE IS BY FAR THE FASTEST OF SOLUTIONS WHERE IS
MUCH SLOWER BEYOND WED NIGHT (07/12Z). PRESSURES APPEAR TO BE WITHIN
THE BALLPARK. SINCE THIS SYSTEM HAS TROPICAL ORIGINS...AM FAIRLY
CONFIDENT THIS WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT STORM...BUT POSITIONING WILL
CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM. FOR NOW WILL NUDGE WINDS UP IN EXTENDED
FORECAST PERIODS AND WATCH SYSTEM AS IT EVOLVES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM ADT WED SEP 6 2006
.DISCUSSION...
...THE FEATURE THAT IS RAPIDLY BECOMING THE DOMINANT WEATHER SYSTEM IN
THE AREA IS THE LOW WEST OF THE ALEUTIANS...WHICH CONTAINS THE
REMAINS OF FORMER SUPER TYPHOON IOKE. THIS LOW WILL BOMB OUT TODAY
OVER THE BERING SEA. CENTRAL SURFACE PRESSURE WILL BOTTOM OUT AT
AROUND 963 MB EARLY THURSDAY. BEING A FORMER TYPHOON...THIS LOW
CONTAINS COPIOUS MOISTURE AND WILL BRING DECENT AMOUNTS OF RAIN OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA ALONG WITH
STRONG WINDS. AS THIS LOW APPROACHES THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA IT
WILL FINALLY KICK OUT THE GULF LOW THURSDAY NIGHT...AND THEN CROSS
THE AKPEN AND DROP INTO THE GULF SATURDAY TO TAKE ITS PLACE. THE
MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE ABOVE SCENARIO THROUGH
ABOUT SUNDAY.

TWC has some new video (VOD) showing a close-up pass over Wake Island - as well as a satellite history of Ioke from west of Hawaii all the way to Alaska.
