Outter Eyewall Of Ike Moving Over Land

TROPICAL UPDATE...
   Hurricane Ike Beginning To Make Landfall Now...


     National Weather Service Doppler Radar is indicating that the eye of Hurricane Ike is now moving over Galveston, Texas. Beaumont, Texas which is a little ways from the Ike's center is experiencing Sustained winds in excess of 60MPH with gusts now in excess of 80MPH. Looking at radar, the strongest winds are now moving over the Doppler radar site in Webster, Texas. So we may lose radar from this area. Also looking at radar, the heaviest winds are now headed for Houston. Things will continue to deteriorate inland. Already over 1 Million people are without power in and near the Houston area. Significant storm surge flooding has already been reported and it will only continue to worsen.
