A Wake For Wake

Ioke spoke

HONOLULU (AP) — Typhoon Ioke knocked out Wake Island’s weather sensors on Thursday as it lashed the isle with some of the central Pacific’s fiercest winds in over a decade, the National Weather Service said.
Forecasters monitoring the 2.5-square-mile atoll’s wind and temperature gauges from Hawaii said the instruments blew out as the storm approached with winds of up to 155 miles per hour and gusts of up to 190 mph.

I can’t wait to see the pictures.

   Having spent a couple days on Wake, you might not notice anything at all, it’s THAT flat. And THAT makes it SO not the place to watch Ioke from.
