Re: Hike away from Ike?
Esther, where are you getting your information?? The storm has actually strengthened a little bit since last night (increasing from 100 mph - 105 since about 1:30 a.m.), and is expected to gain a little more strength, even possibly becoming a 3 before it actually hits. Sources are the National Hurricane Center and www.wunderground.com, as well as on CNN right now.
Cameron, LA is already getting a 6' surge, and the storm isn't even THERE yet.
