Wow... that came out of nowhere, but Hurricane Ike grew from a Category 1 to an impressive Category 4 in about six hours. That's pretty insane, and goes to show you just how unpredictable tropical weather is. I'm not trying to undermine the models and predictive qualities of professional meteorologists, because they do a pretty damn good job, it just hopefully goes to show you how beautifully complex nature is, and hopefully a sense of awe and wonder at natural phenomena.
ok, i'll get off my soapbox. hopefully Ike won't cause too much damage and just be a pretty storm to look at...
