Hey Planner .. all depends on track. I could have been clearer in my description .. My expectation is that Ike will be out of our waters in about two days. It is too high up north already in my feeling to literally ´turn back´. Nevertheless, we have seen this happen with other storms and I have been wrong as many times as I´ve been right. The prediction picture is very complex.

My sense is that the storm will pass to the North given the complete weather picture, but like Mike said, the uncertainty is great and I stress, the above is my sense based on the storm´s current position.

So, for the weather report, it is crazy out there which makes for a very complex prediction picture.
For the party, the show must go on

I´ll change the thread description.

I, too, from my post next to the Good Lord, feel that neither Ike nor Josephine will actually make landfall here in the DR.
HOWEVER, I do think we will get more rains from them as they pass by...

Of course if IKE goes way north, we might not get anything more than soem waves and breezes..

Josephine is a little further south so she might get closer...right now she's supposed to be on a westerly track that is expected to go WNW in a day or so...

Ain't this fun....

Here is a thought...

Since Hana is now moving east towards the direction of Ike, what if they both meet? I know I shouldn't say that because it will be catastrophic. Has something like that ever happened? That is a very scary thought.

The movement Eastward wasn't expected to last long. It is now moving north of Northwest at a relatively fast pace now.

Yes! If you ever read ´'The Perfect Storm', you´ll probably never go to sea again.
