Ike to be another Isaac?
If any of the folks in the Galveston area read Isaac's Storm and heard the national weather service's "certain death" warning about Hurricane Ike, they'll be sure to heed any and all evacuation warnings.As for boating, I suspect and hope that the entire Gulf of Mexico is empty of boaters over the next 24 hours.

Ike is looking for his Keys
Hurricane Ike is raging across the Carribbean as a cat 4, and Geraldo (on Fox News) just told me Ike is already forcing an evacuation of the Florida Keys.After a quick google search, the AP clarified for me that the evacuation order is currently only in effect for non-residents of the Keys.
Either way, if you are in the keys and own a boat, it's probably an understatement to suggest you tie up an extra line or two. And maybe head to terra firma.

Here Comes Hanna
Channel 8-WTNH TV's website from New Haven has a great headline this afternoon about the tropical storm presently spinning up the east coast:
Batten down the hatches for Hanna
It's a nice little story that shows some of the prep boat owners and marinas are doing on the Connecticut shoreline, from adding a couple of extra lines on their boats to hauling the boats completely out of the water.
If reading's not you're thing, you can watch the latest news about Hanna from the AP here.

Storm Brewing
If you are in the Keys, get out. If you are thinking about choosing to stay with your boat or your home, don't.
If you're worried about traffic, leave now instead of waiting until later.
Take a jug of water. Get in the car. And go.
I've been to those keys, and there isn't much room for shelter.
Don't listen to me, check out this video:
