Going into the eye of Ike



This is what it looks like when a weather buoy goes into the eye -- winds go up, air temperature and pressure drop dramatically. Unfortunately, that may have been the end of this buoy -- it had not reported for more than 2 hours after these readings.

This buoy is (maybe was) about 123 miles southeast of Galveston, about 13 miles from the 4 p.m. position of the Gulf-eating Hurricane.

Steve, I found this blog very informative and probably got more current information from it and all the links. Thanks for all the effort you put into it. Hopefully you won't have too many more hurricanes this season.
