…at this writing, first-born is at 39,000 SW of Casper, WY, heading 108° at 581 mph for ATL (according to flightview.com); we’ll see how this SAV arrival time of 1830 EDT plays out. Since it is what it is, what really captured my attention was the model runs and Wundermap for Ike. Except for the persistently contrarian NOGAPS, it doesn’t look good for a bunch of people who have seen enough tropical weather for about 5 years, much less a couple of months, or for Fla. and the Gulf (of course that latter part is five days out with lots of divergence in the models)…
I think she will be in good shape, Jack. Go to the Hanna site and look at the wind map. Almost all of the storm is on the Northeast side and the mid-Carolina target area should mean minimal impact on Savannah which is on the “good” side of the storm.
Ike may be a real problem.
