Bloody Sunset Compliments of Hurricane Ike

I snapped this picture at sunset. The clouds have been thickening all day as Ike nears the Islands. Ike should pass about 290 miles to the north of San Juan, so tack on a smooth 50 miles and that gives me 340 miles of cushion, thankfully. I really really feel for the folks that are in the path. I am very gratefully that Ike is tight and compact. Not sure if we'll see thunderstorms from the outer bands or not. Hopefully nothing like the outer bands of Hanna which were just brutal and relentless.
