I read it...IKE is a little north of where I expected it to be before a late turn of more north/northwest around Friday afternoon...Forcast should still be about right on for the potential landfall though...

But the hurricane force winds stretching out to a 115 mile range or so are stronger than many may have thought from IKE since it left Cuba...

Those stronger windbands along with a slighlty northern jog may now pose more potential storm surge flooding along gulf coast areas west of the TX/LA border...New Orleans and west will have to be wary of initial storm surge and for additional storm surges from trailing bands off IKE moving in a northerly direction...

IKE is going to affect a much larger area than it looked possible a few days ago...LJ
