Santo Domingo.– Tropical Storm Ike could be a major hurricane by the time it hits land, likely to stick to a westerly path that would bring it just north of the island of Hispaniola, shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
According to computer models used to forecast tropical storm tracks, Ike is expected to grow rapidly into a hurricane that could threaten the United States or the Caribbean.
Tropical Storm Ike, the ninth of a busy Atlantic hurricane season, formed Monday midway between Africa and the Caribbean. Its top sustained winds were already at 50 mph and it was expected to reach hurricane strength, with winds of at least 74 mph, within 36 hours, the hurricane center said.

So, Samana, Sosua, Cabarete, Puerto Plata and Monte Cristi will receive most impact, and as we know central area of Cibao and around allways get the most.

Place your money on having it follow a course almost identical to Hanna. thus heading north of us by about 200 miles and putting us in the lower quadrant (less power)...if it does get close.
