Hurricane Ike – Florida Keys – September 8-9, 2008
During the first week of September, 2008 Hurricane Ike tore through the islands of Turks & Caicos and Great Inagua as a category four, with sustained winds of 135mph, before making landfall on the north coast of Cuba as a strong category three, with 120mph winds.
Ike crossed the eastern and central provinces of the Cuban mainland and moved offshore, paralleling the south coast of the island, making another landfall over the western portion of Cuba and emerging into the Gulf of Mexico.
The hurricane continued across the Gulf and made a final landfall near Galveston, Texas as a borderline category two/three, with 110mph winds, during the early morning hours of September 13th.
The hurricane caused extensive wind and storm surge damage in the affected areas, virtually obliterating several coastal communities on the Bolivar peninsula of the upper Texas coast.
With monetary losses over $31 billion (USD), Ike is now ranked as the third costliest hurricane in United States history.
From the afternoon of September 7th through the evening of September 9th, storm chasers Michael Laca, Jim Leonard, Jose Garcia and Max Hagen intercepted numerous outer rainbands, from Hurricane Ike, in the middle and lower Florida Keys, as the storm passed well to the south.
At the time of Ike’s closest point of approach to the Keys, the hurricane was a category one with sustained winds of 80mph and a central pressure of 965mb (28.50in).
Although the center of Ike remained a significant distance (150 miles) to the south, the hurricane had a very large windfield and produced sustained tropical storm conditions (39-73mph), with gusts of near hurricane-force, across most of the Florida Keys, which resulted in some minor wind damage.
These strong winds produced a 2-3ft storm surge in exposed locations on the Atlantic side of the lower Keys. During high-tide, many low-lying areas experienced significant flooding.
Numerous tornadic thunderstorms were also embedded within the outer rain bands of Hurricane Ike and several confirmed reports of tornadoes and tornadic waterspouts have been received from locations throughout the Keys.

Hurricane Charley – Port Charlotte, FL – August 13, 2004
Hurricane Charley strengthened rapidly just before striking the southwestern coast of Florida, over Charlotte Harbor, as a Category Four hurricane. Although extremely small in size, Charley produced sustained winds of 150mph and gusts to near 175mph, causing catastrophic wind damage in the communities of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, FL. The Charlotte County Medical Center recorded an unofficial gust of 150kts (173mph) and the Charlotte County Airport recorded 139kts (160mph). Charley’s minimum central pressure at landfall was 942mb (27.82in) and I recorded 950mb (28.05in) at my location near Fawcett Memorial Hospital. Veteran storm chaser Andy Dressler accompanied me on this chase.

09/18/2010 Bermuda Pre Hurricane Igor
Hurricane Igor is zeroing in on the Island of Bermuda and BNVN Weather Paparazzi Chris Collura was at Elbow Beach in Saint George Bermuda today and shot this footage of large waves hitting the shoreline.
While Hurricane Igor is still a large storm that is on track to hit Bermuda, looking at the latest USAF Hurricane Hunter recon data and the latest forecast discussion from the National Hurricane Center, it is no surprise that the storm is now Hurricane Igor is a Category One Hurricane with winds of 90 mph. (Cat 1 = Sustained winds 74-95 mph, 64-82 kt, or 119-153 km/hr).
This has been what the computer models have been forecasting for several days. Igor is now dying of rapidly and has lost it’s eye so if the storm continues to fall apart over the next 24 hours, the damage to the island of Bermuda will be minimal since the buildings on the island are designed to withstand major hurricanes.
The man concern now for Bermuda is for the large waves that were generated by Igor when it was still a Major Hurricane several days ago. If the storm drops below hurricane strength before making landfall, my other forecast is for everyone in the media to reuse the term “Dodged The Bullet” with regards to Igor. It is more like the forecast models nailed it and Bermuda will take a hit but won’t be knocked out.
