I dunno. I don't trust the models (w. underground has their 2pm update up now, btw). For a week, everyone has been saying Ike will turn North: first they said into the mid-Atlantic away from land, and Ike continued West. Then they said Ike would follow Hanna up the east coast, then that said Ike would hit Miami, then they said Key West. But this stubborn storm keeps tracking West.

I'm worried for NOLA and the LA coast, and my gut says at this point, to hope for a continued Western track to hit the lower TX coast, rather than a north turn into Florida.
