NOAA's National Weather Service in Key West and the NWS' Tropical Weather Page are the absolute best sources of objective information about Ike, and about hurricanes generally, insofar as Key West is concerned.
Housed in a Cat 5 hardened building on White Street, the Key West forecasters and support personnel provide a steady stream of current information gathered from a variety of sources, giving as little or as much as anyone might care to know.
Of particular interest is the recorded multimedia update that's put up about every four hours.

At the same time, the island itself is quiet, extremely quiet. I took a short ride around tonight to make sure that all of the houses are secure and there were very few other cars moving around. The two gas stations at Truman and White were both open, as were several small convenience stores and delis, but many more places were not only closed but boarded up.
Tomorrow morning tells the tale. Will it be a hit or a miss? I hope that it just keeps slip-slidin' away.
