Passes through the yucatan channel heading NW as a CAT 2, strengthens to CAT 4 then slams the Central Gulf coast from Lake Charles to Mouth of Miss. River.

gulf just nnw of cuba. Then a path more nw to n stricking middle gulf coast between LA and Ms. If this happens we could see a storm stonger than David ( 79) and Gilbert. Project to maintain cat 3 status all through the Caribbean and then possibility for major intensification will exist once in the Gulf. Has the potential to be the worst storm to hit the coast since Camille.


As I was driving down highway 90 moments ago, I was thinking along the same lines. Imagine another Camille on today's Gulf Coast - :eek:

After pummeling the Keys and extreme S Florida as the initial CONUS hit, Ivan picks up speed and intensity and heads towards the northern GOM... he will be steered by a relatively strong ridge that will not let her get to the Atlantic east coast, nor the west coast of Florida's GOM .....continuing on a nw course after entering the GOM, I'm leaning towards Ivan making a second landfall near New Orleans, only because they're overdue and it just a matter of time before they get a big one.... but I really like Mobile as being the primary second landfalling pick.... so I'll compromise.... the eye of Ivan go on shore between N'awlens (or 25 miles to the west) and Mobile (or 25 miles to the east)..... that's only about a 140-190 mile wide target zone....... considering how far away Ivan is that's about as good as I can get... and for the record I am not -removed-... I am in the middle of a huge outside renovation project on my house... and I certainly don't need any hurricane right now... so hopefully it hits over the Mobile area and I'm in the weaker west quadrant... or better yet it just goes west into Central America...

Intensity will be a strong Cat 3, could be another Betsy for NO and Fredrick for Mobile.... the eye will not go inland on the MS coast... hopefully...

overall confidence in this prediction is not to high I might add... . but what the heck... I predicted Frances to hit Kennedy Space Center (or areas south to WPB) over 11 days out... I just might get lucky again... so this is my prediction and I'm sticking to it.... won't be the first time I crashed and burned....

.... but don't start buying any plywood yet...and all you S Floridians, I'd keep that plywood up for another weekend just to be safe...

You proved my point!!! Look at where everybody who posts lives, and that, like a magnet, is where they think the hurricane will go!!!!

The carolinains think carolina, the TEXANS say texas, the floridians just say"I give up"

Its not a 100 percent, but I say there IS A BIAS!!!

Beg to differ on that. I live in Southern New England. We will get the leftovers but we never get the main course! I will take it if you donate it, but I think that this will keep heading WNW until it hits a landmass (TX or LA)

Bye!

Through the Yucatan channel or western Cuba, sharp turn and into Tampa. They should not have won the Stanley Cup! Secondary landfalls at NC/Cape Cod/Canadian Maritimes possible .

Bah. I admitted there was a bias on mine. :lol: Anything this far out is a guess regardless.... I guessed Miami with Francis... Tampa with Charley.

Cajungal prediction-takes a path similar to Lili in 2002. Crosses western Cuba, brushes the Yucatan, final landfall between Morgan City, and Houma, Louisiana.
