And now Hurricane Ike prepares to follow Hurricane Hanna toward the Atlantic coast of the United States. Ike has already become a category 2 hurricane stronger than Hanna, even while still far out in the Atlantic. Fortunately, neither Hanna nor Ike show any signs of endangering oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. The Atlantic seaboard may not be so fortunate, however. Will the East Coast be able to evacuate and prepare as effectively as the Gulf Coast states did? I hope so!
