Keep praying, I think it's working!  |
harvey,
I don't think the category 2 status includes such variables as the height of the waves and all the water damage that is included with Ike. The winds may be around 100 mph which is a Cat 2, but the surf and the waves are what is projected to be the most damaging effect from this. I do hope it will weaken, but I hope people in the area do not get a false sense of security. STILL PRAYING, THOUGH!!!
