Hanna strengthens...Ike now a major hurricane

The 8 PM update shows that both Hanna and Ike have increased their maximum sustained wind speeds.  Hanna is still a strong tropical storm with winds of 65 mph, and Ike is now a category 3 major hurricane, with winds of 115 mph.  Hanna is still expected to make landfall near the NC/SC border early Saturday morning, while Ike is expected to reach the Bahamas by the beginning of next week.  I'll have another update later tonight.
