Hurricane Ike is forecast to strengthen significantly as it enters the Gulf, but computer forecasting models no longer show the storm hitting shore near Galveston.Here's what the Navy meteorologists have to say:
The four of the six major forecasting models used by the National Hurricane Center now show Ike coming ashore early Saturday at or south of Corpus Christi. Two show the storm hitting the northern Mexico coast.
The Tex-Mex border near Harlingen is a fast-growing area with many densely-populated colonias along the Mexican side of the border. If Hurricane Ike strikes near there, it could result in much hardship and loss of life.
