Re: Why IKE number is important

Actually patenting can a good thing as it keeps others from stealing ideas. As I understand it the government will actually control the patent. As long as Emergency Management has access to the information I am comfortable with that. Most people still don not understand the NHC cone and what it means.

If I was in a coastal area of Cat Island, Eleuthera or Great Abacoa I would hang on. While Irene may be a CAT 3 the IKE numbers for storm surge are getting close to the numbers seen during hurricane Ike landfall. The damage there was more typical of a Cat 5 storm surge and some of those places are only a mile wide or less.
