There has been a lot of concern over the past 2 days about Hanna and Ike. I have been looking at the forecast models and it appears as if Hanna will stay off the coast of Florida by at least 100 miles (eye to land), eventually making landfall somewhere in South Carolina, * and Ike may graze the keys on its way into the gulf (*Edited 9/7/08).

For the Volusia County area, this means we will get some modest rain, medium winds (<50 MPH) and plenty of beach erosion for continued damage to our beaches. Low-lying areas should take flooding precautions. More updates will be posted if the path changes and either storm threatens the Daytona Beach area more than currently predicted.
