the models show Ike to effectstaurday ahead,
at least many models, there are still 5 models who bring him over the weekend to a southern turn towards the northcoast, the very most models show him passing far from the northcoast, only a few let him move out on open atlantic to die there.
there are so many possibilities and we are still a few days away from a possible 'coming closer', we just can watch any move, actually Ike is still on WNW.
Hanna is shown since very early morning on a northcourse, but slow, just 5mphr, she surprised in many points, so we have to wait until she is gone more far.
here on the east we had rain most of the day yesterday, in the afternoon and evening it was heavy, many showers during last night, this morning is til now in Cabeza de Toro where i live dry, but it is still 100% cloudy, wind changes with strong gusts 10-15knots.
our east province declared yellow-flagg, so public schools are closed today, i missed that info myself, so for the pick up van of the private school of our son we waited 30 minutes for nothing this morning, also closed, a neighbours kid been picked up for an other private school.
we sorrily don't get always such notice, but that's not the most important ones neither. while Fay ben on the south i complained that we need water on the east, it has been much too dry for months, now we have more than needed and the river and mountain areas go more dangerous with every additional hour of rain there.
at least this year we can see that authorities evacuate areas in danger, we can not stop the weather, but we can improve our knowledge/behaviors during such times.
let's stay informed and inform each others
Mike
