Current Hurricane scenario (Ike related)

[teneicm]

You have been out on an extended cruise and are currently anchored off of Long island in the Bahamas. It is 8:00 am Friday morning, September 5 2008. You look at the forecasted computer models and see that Hurricane Ike is tracking exactly for you and is expected to directly hit Long Island as a strong Cat 4 storm around 2:00 am Monday:

Tropical Storm: Tracking Map : Weather Underground (link shows real time info, track may have changed after posting)

You have 66 hours before the storm hits.

Do you attempt to ride it out? (Assume you have the standard equipment neccesary to anchor or tie up i.e. 2 or three anchors is OK, but you cannot magically conjur up 6 anchors and a cruise ship mooring)

Do you flee? (You have been actively cruising, assume that you can be underway in less than 2 hours) If so, where do you go?

Do you wait and see? What's you timeline for decisions?

Does your decision change if Ike was only going to be a Category 1 or 2 storm? What about Cat 5?
