At least it is full moon, bad for tides in the storm surge but you
aren't missing imaging nights. We could use the rain up here. We've
had a solid week of clouds but very little rain for months. Wind we
don't need.

Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

long

John - fortunately you are going to be on the backside of Ike; this
should help a lot both with surge and wind but the wind field was
enormous thru the Keys and it took three days just to get to dropping
small craft advisories in the bay! You should be fine. We had highway
US1 flooded only in the upper Keys. - take care and stay dry! - Rod

Very good image, lots of signal. Even better with colour saturation turned
down a bit.
