Looks like they have it as 135 mph just before at landfall. Nothing to mess around with folks. I expect a tremendous storm surge.

Yeah, w/ this forecast Mobile Bay will see a tremendous surge. Has Mobile been evacuated yet? Also, w/ their forecast the Appalachians will see a flood beyond imagination as Ivan stalls over TN/Carolinas.

Not yet. The Governor has ordered mandatory evacuations for coastal Baldwin county just east of Mobile.

I'm glad to hear this storm is weakening -- however, by no means should any of us let our guard down. This is still a major hurricane! Just because it's not a Cat 5 like it was for seemingly forever, doesn't mean it's not dangerous.

NHC now has Ivan at a Cat 3 at landfall.


to be fair they have it as a cat 4 most likely at landfall and then weakening to a cat 3 after....based on the 48 hour 120kts....

now i dont agree with this at all and think they are taking the extreme view on the intensity (much like the current advisory)....but to be fair that is the forecast.

The IR looks like Ivan is trying to fight the shear and dry air.
