1. TPC indeed jumps back east...not a major shift b/c this is about where we were yesterday. Don't watch the Model Map(s), what his *actual* forward direction...that is what matters now.
2. Back to a Cat-4. TPC has him close to Cat-5 Thursday night: 150MPH, Gust 185MPH.
did I mention "watch forward direction...that is what matters now"?

Loads of places but if you go to http://www.midatlanticwx.com/hurricane.htm
you get current coordinates, dir/speed and ofther plotted data on the top map.
Several maps to choose from and the Model Map link is right next to it.
Handy!!!
somewhat shameless

Here's a thought.....everyone better make sure they have all their hurricane supplies in check....even well inland. If Ivan hits the coast as a cat 4 or 5, destruction will be seen well inland.
If Ivan hits the southeast LA. area as a cat 4 or 5, there will be no southeast LA, and New Orleans will be completely submerged from the overflowing of Lake Ponchartrain, and the coastal waters rising. I don't mean to scare anyone, but SE La. has never seen anything like a direct hit of a cat 5 hurricane.

If Ivan comes in just south of NOLA, the Ponchartrain fills up and over, and you hit the nail on the head.

As mentioned numerous times here, it will be difficult if not impossible to restock if this becomes a Florida storm-no gas, no gas cans, batteries are limited. In other words consumables are hard to come by. Hopefully, we will get some supplies by weeks end.
I'm off to try to get some sleep but I'm sure I'll see some of you here at 2 a.m. and again at 5. It's like I have an internal clock that says it's time for the update! What a way to live! LOL
