WEDNESDAY UPDATE
Sorry for the lack of updates, been busy with work
It looks like Corpus Christi will be getting hit by the weekend but the good news (no offense to our friends or my family in CC) is that it will avoid the oil fields for the most part.
Latest track below.
So far, the last few weeks have been something of a good-luck charm in terms of hurricanes. Gustav, once thought to be a monster destined to rip apart New Orleans, thankfully ended up to be far less serious. Hanna, once thought to be a risk to Charleston and Savannah has ended up being more of a weekend killer for the East Coast than anything else.
But now we have Ike…. It is a Category 4 storm now and will shred much of Cuba over the next few days.
After that… well, the storm track below shows us that we’ve once again got worries for the folks of the Gulf Coast
Let us hope good things come in threes (or fours or fives)
MONDAY UPDATE: Looks a lot like Texas and that little bay it seems to be headed for is Houston/Galveston.
So far it does not look like it will grow past Category 1 or 2 but things change very quickly so keep an eye open, especially if you live in Texas
