Post-tropical Storm Ike
Amazing that where i am we are starting to feel the effects of IKE...this is from Environment Canada
-----------------------------------------
Post-tropical Storm Ike Is Moving Rapidly Towards The Lower Great Lakes From Northeast Indiana At A Speed Of 80 Km/h. Ike's Trajectory Is Expected To Move Across The West End Of Lake Erie Early This Evening And North Of Toronto Then North Of Ottawa Around Midnight. As A Result Of This Adjusted Northward Track..the Heaviest Rainfall Will Shift Accordingly. The Heaviest Rainfall Is Anticipated To Stretch From Near Sarnia Northeast Across Cottage Country Into The Renfrew Area With Amounts Of 40 To Locally 70 Mm. Significant Amounts Of Up To 25 Mm Are Expected South Of This Swath From Toronto Through Ottawa As Well But This Is Below The Warning Threshold Of 50 Mm In 12 Hours. Another Issue With Ike Is The Wind. Strong Winds Wrapping Around Ike This Evening Remain Strong With A Few Gusts Of 120 Km/h Across Indiana And Ohio. These Winds May Weaken Slightly This Evening As Ike Crosses Southern Ontario But Remain Strong Enough To Warrant Concern. Southerly Winds Of 60 Gusting To 100 Km/h Are Expected For Areas Adjacent To Lake Erie From Early To Mid Evening. Winds Just North Of Lake Ontario Will Also Become Strong..at 50 To 80 Km/h..but Not Likely Severe. The Winds Will Shift Into The Northwest At 50 To 70 Km/h Later This Evening. The Heavy Rain Will End This Evening For Western Regions And Late Tonight Or Early Monday Morning Over Eastern Ontario. Environment Canada Will Continue Monitor This Situation Closely.
