Ike at 2PM EDT, Sept. 10, 2008Hurricane Ike continues its slow move across the Gulf of Mexico today. Winds increased slowly overnight from 75mph to 90mph, but the last advisory gave Ike a boost to 100mph winds. The forecast still calls for a landfall around Fri/Sat, somewhere between Corpus Christi and Galveston, as a Category 3 storm with 125mph winds. There's still a chance the storm could stay to the south of Corpus Christi, which is very sparsely populated.
Projected landfall of Ike near Corpus Christi. The entire Texas coast lies within the cone of uncertainty.
