It seems that hurricane Ike is worst than expected. The category 2 hurricane is thought to have a potential of a category 3 , with speeds of 111 (179km) miles an hour, right before hitting land. A "certain death" warning has been issued by the National Hurricane Center due to its 9-foot floods, which gives more to its severity and danger. Damage is thought to be due to these severe floods rather than 'just the strong winds'.
A similar warning was issued for Hurricane Katrina in 2005... Unbelievable... The above picture shows the path of Hurricane Ike that i got from the NHC -- you can keep going there and checking back at the stated times for more accurate updates for the path of this hurricane.
Our prayers go out to all of those affected, and for the prevention of others that are threatened by the effect of this hurricane.
