  1. Great shot, where in the Peak District did you see it btw?
  2. Thanks for that loop, is it me or does IKE look to be heading more Westerly now?
  3. Ive heard estimates of up to 30,000 may have stayed behind riding out the storm.
  4. Just been talking to a girl near Houston who is planning to ride the Hurricane out in a Trailer..thats right, a TRAILER, told her its not the best of ideas and have said to go to shelter points as soon as possible. I suspect for many it will be their first Hurricane and thus they have no idea what there in for.
  5. Steve just beat me to it, the only saving grace for Galveston Island/Texas City is that IKE makes a sudden right hand turn at the last minute. However as each hour passes this is looking unlikely to happen. Also just to point that due to the funnelling effect, although people are quoting 20ft surge height, due to the funnelling i'd expect an extra 5ft on top of this plus the waves aswell.
  6. Coastal areas of Galveston already under water, I expect the reason why wave heights are so high right now is due to the outbanding of IKE, the fact its not a compact storm but rather what is known as a "blowout" storm means a lot of energy is being dissipated outwards aswell as being fed inwards. 20ft wave heights already coupled with the surge means I expect to see a surge of 25ft+ hitting the coast.
  7. Looking at the Satellite loop it seems Gustav is now tracking due West along the coastline.
  8. Perhaps Because the storm surge is 12ft in height and the land is at sea level..go figure lol.
  9. Hurricanes usually quiten down during the night hours as the convection is limited until the next morning, I should expect to see Gustav strengthen to CAT4 again within the next 8 hours.
  10. What about the shadow the cloaked object would be casting though?, Its still a solid physical object so if there was a shadow cast then it wouldnt really be invisible as theres a physical sign that something is there.
  11. Just saw Totality on the live feed, it was impressive (still doesnt beat being there in person though), couldnt see any sign of the Sungrazing Comet however, took some on-screen snapshots too.
  12. Same weather here but ive just been fortunate enough to have a couple of seconds between the clouds to view Partiality, quite impressive now but im sure would look even better on the centreline in Russia soon.
  13. Been rvised down now to a 6.1, depth was 6 miles underground and occured ESE of the city (exactly on the spot where the mid-atlantic ridge comes to the surface.
