Hurricane trackers at the National Hurricane Center continue to update the path of Hurricane Ike, which now looks as if it will graze the area of the Gulf that has the densest concentration of oil and gas platforms.

Ike is still a category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph, but is expected to strengthen into a "major" category 3 hurricane before making landfall at around midnight Friday (tomorrow).
