Once again, sorry for the lack of posting. Turns out Graduate School requires me to do ACTUAL work (more on this later)

But for now, take a gander at this picture:

This is the 18Z Surface analysis, and it just so happens to catch Hurricane Ike. Even though it looks like you want to shoot at it with a Remington 22, it is actually lines of constant pressure (known as isobars). The tighter the lines are, the stronger the system is.

According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm is is moving WNW at 10mph and has max sustained winds of 100 mph. Models indicate that the storm will make landfall in Texas sometime tomorrow night.
