Moments in Miami

Oh moments in Miami. Hanna is still planning on cruising the coast of Florida. The good news is we are on the west side of the storm which means we will still get rain but the brunt won't hit so much. Hanna has begun a slow drift to the north and is now off the northern coast of Haiti. Sustained winds are at near 60 mph. Some strengthening is expected. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 230 miles.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist declared a state of emergency to prepare for Tropical Storm Hanna, even as two more storms, Ike and Josephine, were lining up behind it.
Crist made the emergency declaration as Hanna, now situated near the Bahamas, began to turn to the northwest. The National Hurricane Center predicts it most likely will come ashore as a hurricane between Friday and Saturday somewhere between the east coast of Florida and the North Carolina coast. Current forecasts show the storm making landfall near the Georgia-South Carolina border.

Then we have Ike. Tropical Storm Ike did not strengthened overnight, but it is still forecast to become a hurricane later today. Sustained winds are aat 65 mph.

Oh but wait there is more... Tropical Storm Josephine grew a bit stronger overnight and forecasters expect it to continue to strengthen during the next 24 hours. Winds have increased to near 60 mph.

Stay tune as things develop!
