Hurricane Ike Slams Cuba- Heading for Texas?
The best case scenario for the Gulf Coast residents would ahve been for hurricane Ike to straddle the mountains of Cuba and weaken big time. But NO! Ike missed the entire Eastern mountainous region, crosses over Cuba and goes back out to sea, before attacking Cuba again and paying a visit to Havana. In other words, hurricane Ike will come out of Cuba stronger than we originally planned.
Hurricane Ike made landfall around 9:45 p.m. EDT Sunday evening, near Punto De Sama in the Cuban province of Hoguin with winds estimated near 125 miles per hour. As of 5 p.m. EDT Monday, Ike was located about 340 miles SE of Havana, Cuba, and moving westward at 14 mph. Time over land had weakened the storm and Ike is now a Category I hurricane with winds near 80 mph. Organization of Ike has appeared to increase over the past couple of hours since it has moved over the water.
So, where's this dude going? 
The best guess now as we're still five days out (Saturday seems to be the best landfall estimate) is somewhere between Corpus Christi and Beaumont. Can you say HOUSTON? Houston, we have a problem: maybe! And with the warm waters of the Gulf, Ike is expected to regain strength over the next four days and build to a Category 3 again.
Hurricane Ike roared down Cuba's spine Monday and toward the island's densely populated capital of fragile historic buildings after ravaging homes and forcing more than 1 million people to evacuate. U.S. residents from Florida to Texas braced for Ike's next wallop.
As one Cuban resident said, "This critter was angry, really angry," Delia Oliveras, 64, said in the central city of Camaguey. Winds tore the roof from the living room where her family was huddled, and they fled to a covered patio. "We have seen hurricanes, but never as big as this." And the people have not yet recovered from Gustav. Gustav tore across western Cuba as a monstrous Category 4 hurricane on Aug. 30, damaging 100,000 homes and causing billions of dollars in damage. But no deaths were reported, thanks to mandatory evacuations of at least 250,000 people.
So, now Texans wait and pray that Ike goes some place else or fizzles out. Both scenarios are highly unlikely as of Monday evening.
