Ivan Advisories

[vortex100]

News reports indicate that Kingston reported winds as high as 130 mph, despite its distance from the eyewall. Looking at Ivan now and the current trajectory, Grand Cayman should suffer a direct hit. Building codes on the island are fairly strict and it made it through Gilbert with only moderate damage. However, this monster could very well devastate the entire island. I would be surprised to see more than half the trees and homes survive if Ivan makes a direct hit.

Great discussion, it's threads like this that make this board worth the time! Thanks . I have trying to describe what I saw happening. I have been learning here the "basics" of the synoptic patterns. Just so you don't think I'm blowing smoke

Keep it up

Looks like a boucing ball to the west.

I can't listen... I had to turn it off. The music was too much crap (sorry if I offended any rap fans - I just happen to not be able to stand it).

So, please summerize here if you get a chance!

You could see shear cutting the tops of the highest convection here in the Gulf this evening...

I am expecting this island to suffer the same fate as did Swan Island in 1998 from Mitch

i've lost them- 9:15 in NJ
anybody else?

This is an utterly amazing thing, this broadcast over the last two days..

[NorthGaWeather]

Theres about 10 kts of shear in the gulf and its actually decreasing in the Caribbean.

[WindyWx]

If Ivan were to follow the projected path and cross Cuba but with higher than forecast max winds, what does this mean for a stronger US hit at landfall? I'm guessing it could mean a stronger storm at landfall than currently projected? Yes? No?

Getting mighty nervous up here in the Panhandle

[Matthew5]

I think its stronger at this time in the 145 knots?

[das8929]

Omg. Hopefully it wont hit them head on.

Benson, I would like to hear what it is your seeing, you may have some very good points, and im sure everyone else would like to also. please post your ideas.

155 kt is 175-180 mph!!!

[SacrydDreamz]

Camille's lowest pressure was likely lower than 905mb..... likely in the vicinity of Gilbert's 888mb.

[dennis1x1]

going to take an abrupt turn for that to happen.....from due west to true nw.

[cycloneye]

Today Ivan didn't moved NW 310 degrees but instead it moved between 285-290 more west than north and if this motion continues my opinion is that the Yucatan Penninsula may have to have at least a hurricane watch.

Man, you missed the part where the wind gust took the roof off the building and sucked the DJ into the sky!

And the amazing thing is, he managed to keep playing rap music the entire time!
