70 foot waves???

People please relax. First of all the link that was posted says NOTHING of 70 foot waves. Goes to show you how people latch onto mis-information. Please look at this link again.

Now this is still devastating if it comes in there and I PRAY for each and everyone. But please people, take more responsibility for what you say, peoples lives are at stake here. The chart where referring to the "70" are the possible wind speeds.

I'm not trying to take away from the point that this would be devastating, however, mis-information can be just as bad as no information.

Again, my prayers are with everyone, wherever Ivan goes...

Sorry Camile, I only copied and pasted your link!

That's OK, just don't want to give people heart attacks, this will still be bad enough.
