As of a few minutes ago, they still predict its going to hit somewhere near Corpus Christi, Texas. This is where I live and I was just wondering how accurate the forcast is right now, I know they will have a better idea later but the suspense is killing me. Everyone acts so dramatic around this time of year and I was wondering what the odds really are of this.


Answer
The information you want to pay attention to comes from the National Hurricane Center. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
Hopefully when they post their 4pm update they'll show a track update.
You can also get boat loads of information from KHOU Houston News website. http://www.khou.com They have a weather forum on there that is very active right now discussing Ike. Currently it looks like the models are trying to shift Ike back towards the general Houston direction. One model literally cuts my house in half. I'm not scared of Ike. I've been thru Alicia and I live 80miles from the coast so things shouldn't be too bad where I'm at (20 miles west of downtown Houston).
