| Lets see, schools are going to finally open up today, people are still without power, we're in a gas shortage now, so another hit wouldn't be good for anyone at this point. I heard that a total of 18 people have died due to this hurricane. Actually, this is the first time that I am hearing that Ivan might hit another state besides my own.  But we should know more come this Thursday. Here is the five day track that it could take.~~ Hurricane Ivan continues to march westward, keeping it on a course that could threaten the United States in four to five days. Forecasters said Tuesday it's still too early to say how much of a threat Hurricane Ivan poses for storm-ravaged Florida. Ivan strengthened late Tuesday to a Category 4 -- the second most powerful rating -- as it appeared set to bear down on Jamaica by Thursday. At 8 a.m. EDT, the hurricane's center was about about 190 miles east of Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles and it was moving west near 16 mph. Hurricane-force winds of 140 mph extended up to 70 miles from the center and tropical storm-force winds another 160 miles. The storm riled up battering waves and the Hurricane Center warned it could cause storm flooding of 3-5 feet above normal tides with 5-7 inches of rain that could cause flash floods and mudslides. Ivan was centered at latitude 12.5 north, longitude 65.5 west Wednesday morning. Ivan -- now a Category 4 storm -- made a direct hit on Grenada Tuesday. The storm blasted apart scores of homes and hurled hundreds of the island's landmark red zinc roofs through the air. There were no reports of injuries in Grenada, but emergency officials could not be reached. Earlier Tuesday, the storm blew off roofs, downed trees and forced officials to cut power on Barbados. Ivan's sustained winds were clocked at 120 mph as it raced through the Windward Islands. They've now reached 135 mph. The storm could reach Cuba by Friday and has the potential to follow a path similar to Frances. Both storms formed as tropical storms near Cape Verde off the African coast, an area known as a breeding ground for storms that become big hurricanes. Ivan's sustained winds were clocked at 120 mph Tuesday as the storm raced through the Windward Islands but gained strength to 135 mph with higher gusts Tuesday night. Forecasters say Florida residents cannot drop their guard against Ivan. The longer-range forecast maps show Ivan cross western Cuba and going into the Gulf of Mexico early Sunday morning. This might vary north or south, since forecasting is difficult more than a couple of days out. But forecasters look for the forward speed to be reduced by the weekend. They also say a developing trough over the Gulf of Mexico will likely have a lot of impact on where Ivan actually ends up by early next week (edited by Anya on 09-08-04 11:35 AM) |

| So many hurricanes in a few weeks. So much damage too. I hope things will work out. Getting hit by this many hurricanes doesn't happy often right? I haven't heard of you guys getting hit that much..or else I just don't remember |

Originally posted by Bella As mentioned before, the last time that we were hit by two hurricanes within three weeks was back in the 1950's. We've never been hit by three hurricanes within such a short amount of time. |

| Lets just hope that it does go under Florida, and that your house will be alright. Ivan's already killed three people thus far on another island. |

Under Florida isn't great or anything...  But if it means you only have to deal with a good rainfall as opposed to the winds and all that, then it's not a disaster or anything. |

| Well, if it does go under Florida, there is a chance that we'll get the right side of the storm, which is the worse side. | |||

| Hey, ummm, wtf? Must be a cold front moving in, cause that wasn't heading nearly that far north 9 hours ago. It looks like it will hit the west coast of Florida Friday night. I'd get the hell out of dodge now while you can still think about leaving. | |||

Anya, my hats off to you for even tolerating this shit you go through every year. But, this could only be a precursor of things to come. There's still two months left of the season... |

| A lot of people are saying that it won't hit us, but come on, look at the freaking track I feel for Kirby as well. What's is up with our luck this summer? I mean, people that live in the Keys are being asked to leave already. And its now a Cat 5 hurricane. Image of Ivan |

| The chance of it staying CAT 5 until Florida are pretty slim though...but that doesn't mean it won't do some damage until then...considering Grenada is currently in unrest with as much damage as they have (I'm reading 90% of homes in Grenada via MSN), number one, and since a prison got mashed too and there's tons of prisoners running about...you can be sure that's not a pretty place to be in right now. |
