Yes, and Ivan was a hurricane. Hurricanes are weather. But happy? I think not.

The good thing about Ivan the Terrible, was that of the 4 hurricanes to strike Florida last year it's the only one that didn't go through, wholly or in part, Orlando. No power outages like Charley or Jeanne, or power flickering like Frances, no food spoiled, no need to unplug the PC.

Another thing that comes to mind is at this time last year we were only at the I named storm, this year we're watching Ophelia. I wonder if we'll see Wilma this year, and what happens if another named storm comes after her?

Also tomorrow, Isabel's two-year mark. Almost coincided with Ophelia here.

Ivan made landfall on Sept 13th, didnt he?

[GulfBreezer]

Ivan made landfall on the 16th, I know this because he ate everything I owned I am still not done rebuilding and it will be at least 2 more months before I am able to move back into my house..........I will remember that day for as long as I live.

Sorry. I guess all of the storms along the GC in the last 12 months have made me Storm-Dumb. I didnt have it as bad as you from Ivan, but lost 5 trees, and 100' privacy fence, and roof over kitchen from tree coming through so it was a little rough.

For some strange reason I also thought it was Sept 13... Wait... Maybe something happend last year Aug 13... :S

I believe Isabel made landfall on September 18. Still, NC was in the process of evacuating that day.

It sure was terrible! When we ventured out the next morning, it looked like a war zone.. and we live pretty far inland (Northpoint subdivision near Scenic Hiway). We actually expected the damage to be worse because the wind roared all night and we kept hearing things hitting the house . Part of the garage caved in. we lost a privacy fence, swimming pool,a tree fell on the house, the wind pushed one of the walls in just enough to make some leaks and break a picture. Oh yeah, we also lost the roof.The trees that were down, were all twisted till they ripped apart. The damage to the twisted trees was so widespread, that everyone said that it had to be more than 1 tornado that did that. The Red Cross truck had a hard time giving out water and MRE's. Tree's were all in the roads. I never want to go through another Ivan like hurricane.
