Ivan Advisories
Moderator: S2k Moderators
How likely is a Cat4/5 direct hit in New Orleans from Ivan?
The FSU Super Ensemble apparently has a hit now at Biloxi, Mississippi, and it has been trending west.
Why has the NHC been so stubborn with their far east outlier forecast when all the guidance shows further west? New Orleans will need plenty of time to evacuate. Literally tens of thousands of lives could be at stake here.

ANd now at 19.5 82.7. ONly 2 hours I know but isn't that also only 12 to 14 miles. 6 or 7 miles an hour?
Wait a minute - where are you getting those latest coordinates? Is there someplace that they post them before 8:00 edt?

Coastal, worse. the surge would be allowed to build up and penetrate a much greater distance. the surge likely went 'around' grand cayman to some degree. still a horrible storm

POSTED: September 12, 2004 4:33 p.m.
Ivan will move through the Yucatan channel tomorrow and its projected path by accuweather.come takes a major hurricane perhaps as strong as cat 4 and in a worst case, cat 5, into the gulf coast between the mouth of the Mississippi and Pensacola later Wednesday and Wednesday night. The options of a more eastward path are lessening, and increasing danger appears to be further west with each moment. The large area of disturbed weather east of the windward islands will develop slowly on its way northwest the next couple of days, and may be a post Ivan threat in 7-10 days for the eastern sea-board

Some thoughts on Ivan and its future impacts ...
Basically, a long discussion, a lot of images, and links ...
Ivan definitely not clear-cut in its intentions as of yet ... with potential short-term ramifications that changes to the long-term scenarios ...

Yeah, sorry to all of you for the continued focus on New Orleans on this board. We in New Orleans are terrorized all year long with local media and public service announcements telling us how vulnerable we are here. People are getting nervous here. So, don't be suprised if you see a lot of new people on here asking questions about a N.O. landfall. Thanks for all of your opinions by the way.

Anyway, I don't think it's as likely as some may.

I just came back from my parents home in Lockport, La. (about 50 miles south of N.O.) I have to say, people are beginning to get extremely nervous down there and they have the right to. If a CAT 4 or 5 would hit SE La., the coastline would then begin around the NOLA area, and not along Terrebonne, Lafourche, Jefferson, and Plaquemine Parishes.
