He just looks so organized and capable. The current forecast(yes, I know it's early) has him going up to a Cat. 2, then tracking north of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, strengthening to a Cat. 3. I just get a weird feeling when I see him on the satellite. **** He is ominous, isn't he?  Where will he go?  I saw one forecast track yesterday that never has him making landfall.  Bretthttp://community.nbcactionnews.com/blogs/brett_anthonys_blog/archive/2008/09/03/3372562.aspx#3381437Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:28:56 GMTe3b354cb-fd02-4ad6-9bd8-03fbcb6e04ca:3381437WinterTrackerHanna is now expected to stay weak as a tropical storm when it makes land-fall. It looks like some drier air got wrapped up into the system. Is that right or am I just trying to make random assumptions? I think Ike will make landfall as a cat. 4 in north-eastern Florida, after weakening tomorrow to a cat.3 due to high pressure creating shear. This could just be crazy assumptions, but I think this will be the strongest hurricane to make land-fall this year.  **** Great observations, I think you are right about Ike.  It needs to be watched.  Brett
