Sept. 12 Tropics Report


Hurricane Ike is still bearing down on the north Texas coast, now with 110mph winds. The center is still 90 miles offshore, but the storm surge has been flooding Galveston Island for hours. Most of the Texas and Louisiana coast are experiencing tropical storm force gusts now, if not sustained winds.

The core of the storm is not far off now. The weather should really start disintegrating soon.

The approximate path that Ike is heading on. This will take it just to the west of Galveston, a worst-case scenario for the city.

Other than Ike, not much brewing in the tropics aside from a couple of shower clusters in the Atlantic.
