Won't be the last drop today I bet... Ivan has been pumping iron it would appear...

Buoys in the NE Gulf south of Tallahassee are running 82-84F. Not exactly prime temps. for a cat 4. That, coupled with shear, could be the saving grace (I HOPE!!!) if it decides to hit this Panhandle coast.

I've never been sick of tracking hurricanes before in my life, but now I am. The only reason I'm doing so is out of necessity. Other than that, I need a break.

I'm thinking somewhere in the range of 150 - 170 miles from the center.

Thanks for the baaad news! This is sooooo not good. Looks like we are seeing an historic Hurricane in the making, for all the bad reasons.

Remember a couple of years ago when hurricanes were outrunning their stacking? All we chatted about seemed to be vertical stacking, or more correctly, the lack of...which led to the storms falling apart before landfall in the SE US.

This year is different. An understatement if there ever was one.

but NO increase in the flight level winds. NONE whatsoever.

That is good news, at least!

huh? You're not saying people want deaths are you?

I believe pressure drop is usually followed by increased winds...the 8 and 11 advisories should be interesting.

I THINK THAT WILL CHANGE

what matters is the landfalling cat. IMHO...it can stay a cat 5 as long as it wants as long as landfall is less!!

My wife just got home and said she heard on the radio that Ft Myers had a 60% chance of getting eyewall..Based on the models..evidently the radio guys discussed the models...Then he said he would try to get a real weather guy on soon...LMAO..Freakin idiot!! That's not nice either..94 or 96 FM..

:roll:

Good. Statistically, the stronger it is now, the less likely it can maintain that strength over many days. Hopefully, it being strong now means it'll be weaker by the time it approaches the U.S. I know that doesn't make sense, but I'm irrationally looking/needing hope here.
