Ike keeps curving out to the West like this and it is going to be hitting S. Texas or Mexico.

Not likely this time of the year. Too much westerlies.
The high developing may not even be strong enough to keep it aimed at Galveston, it could still head towards western Lousiana.
In any case this one is a tricky one.
They've already called off evacuations for the Keys.
They safe yet?I wouldn't count the west coast of southern Florida out of the woods yet.

The big question now is how much will it strengthen in the warm gulf waters. It's going to hit land - that much isn't a question.

Not looking good for the Gulf states; but at least Southern Florida was spared a direct hit.

I see it curving up the west coast once it passes the keys.
Hopefully I am WRONG this time but I have called every storm right this season so far far better than the official forecasts with their fancy computer models that they rely too much on.

I don't see it making the extreme left hand turn in Georgia like they are showing.

Stop lying.
You and the officials said it would trek on to Texas and you said you would not see rain from the system.
I said it would go northeast and North Carolina would get rain from it and it did.
I conceded it went a little further west than I originally thought but it certainly came back northeast as I said it would.
Stop lying.

Looks like the storm is going to hook to the right, although the models are all over the place.

ALL NEIGHBORHOODS...AND POSSIBLY ENTIRE COASTAL COMMUNITIES... WILL BE INUNDATED DURING HIGH TIDE. PERSONS NOT HEEDING EVACUATION ORDERS IN SINGLE FAMILY ONE OR TWO STORY HOMES WILL FACE CERTAIN DEATH. MANY RESIDENCES OF AVERAGE CONSTRUCTION DIRECTLY ON THE COAST WILL BE DESTROYED. WIDESPREAD AND DEVASTATING PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE IS LIKELY ELSEWHERE. VEHICLES LEFT BEHIND WILL LIKELY BE SWEPT AWAY. NUMEROUS ROADS WILL BE SWAMPED...SOME MAY BE WASHED AWAY BY THE WATER. ENTIRE FLOOD PRONE COASTAL COMMUNITIES WILL BE CUTOFF. WATER LEVELS MAY EXCEED 9 FEET FOR MORE THAN A MILE INLAND. COASTAL RESIDENTS IN MULTI-STORY FACILITIES RISK BEING CUTOFF. CONDITIONS WILL BE WORSENED BY BATTERING WAVES. SUCH WAVES WILL EXACERBATE PROPERTY DAMAGE...WITH MASSIVE DESTRUCTION OF HOMES...INCLUDING THOSE OF BLOCK CONSTRUCTION. DAMAGE FROM BEACH EROSION COULD TAKE YEARS TO REPAIR.
