hanna - ike

We are staying in Raleigh one more night. Monday will tell whether Hanna generated any claims. The only claims possible are "no claims". One more day should tell the tale on Ike.

Most forecasters are not bullish on Ike. Going across Cuba should knock it down and it is not likely to recover after that.

Ike will be covering more of Cuba than Gustav did and the water in the Gulf is not as hot as it was for Gustav. Also there is a patch of dry air waiting for Ike when it comes off Cuba.

Ike will be the peak for the hurricane season. It's down hill after this.

Looks like 2008 season is a bust
