For what it's worth and contrary to all the models, in the past 3 hours (from 8pm - 11 pm ), Ike actually moved .1 degree to the NORTH. Ike's last north move was 42 hrs. ago.
So maybe Ike's southern move is ending which could change everything.

Report from StormCarib.
This just in from Caicos Beach Resort on South Caicos as of 8:45AM.
"Most utility poles are down. As far as is known, many of the roofs are off, very strong winds last night. Right now, no one reported hurt. People stayed in shelters or inside. Under strong winds and moderate rain right now. Water level came up high, and its not clear what flooding there may be. Weather still strong so little opportunity to investigate outside. No one in this update has been to town yet. Wind did move some pickup trucks sideways 30-40 feet. Any temporary structures were blown away. Anything that wasn't secured was blown away. The bay side has receded, drawn in to the storm, maybe less than a foot of water left at the moment." _________________ This post is for discussion purposes only.

Turks and Caicos hit hard by Hurricane Ike; rains continue in Haiti
By JACQUELINE CHARLES
There were no reports of fatalities as Hurricane Ike passed Turks and Caicos early Sunday, but damage to homes was said to be heavy.
''South Caicos is a disaster,'' resident Kim Baker told The Miami Herald. ``Most of the homes are gone, powerlines and trees are down in the road.''
Meanwhile in Haiti, still realing from Gustav and feeling Ike, the last road into Gonaives and the Artibonite from Port-au-Prince was cut off Saturday night.
As heavy rains continued to pound the island, a bridge collapsed, interrupting passage through Mirebalais to Gonaives.
''The situation is very grave,'' said Joanas Gue, the agriculture minister who is in Mirebalais.
Gue said work is underway to create another route through a backroad but right now ''traveling through Haiti is very complicated,'' if not impossible, he said. There are reports of rivers swallowing up homes, and more flooding.
Also there is a gas crisis in Cap-Haitien and Port-de-Paix. _________________ This post is for discussion purposes only. Please refer to the National Hurricane Center for official information.

Lou, are those dimpled areas around the outer edge and in the upper right hand corner of this picture the tops of thunderstorms also? If so, that one is a monster storm!
