It sure looks like it could possibly threaten any area from LA to Fl Panhandle . . . Correct?

Good heavens Derek. I hope your wrong. A landfall on the AL/Western Florida Panhandle would put me in the right-front quadrant. :cry:

I do not see why his age matters! He should be commended for doing this. I know a few adults who do not even put out forecasts but criticize others for theirs. Good job nc!

Floydbuster is another example. He is 15 and has put out his forecast tracks which are dead on with the NHC.

This is not talking about where Ivan will hit, it's simply stating that the panhandle is part of Florida also, and that Ivan "may" spare S. Florida.

Remember your history? We could always reform the old West Florida Republic. Used to encompass the Western panhandle all the way to the Mississippi River. That will show those peninsula folks not to forget about you! :wink: :lol:

That doesn't mean we don't feel deeply for the people living through one, and I don't think we should have to preface every post with "I pray to God for all the poor souls on xxx". We do care, ok? I'd think that should go without saying, frankly (though it's fine if someone does want to say it). Don't jump on people for admiring the scientific facets of the weather, it's not like we caused it to happen or are gleeful about the death and destruction. Sheesh.


good points but maybe sometimes it does need to be said..that people care.
I too have reacted at times to the posts here that express the joy and excitment of watching the technical aspects of hurricanes while the people factor is often ignored.
Maybe those of us in the islands are a little more hyper sensitive to that.

"They must not have very strong buildings there."

From what I recall of the caribbean - construction standards are often very poor and many people live in very flimsy buildings, so I'm not all that surprised.

If Ivan hits Jamaica dead on at even cat 3 the damage will be terrible.

Whoa! The Subject Title isnt "Look at Grenada Getting Slammed". It's Image of Ivan Hitting Grenanda".

I understand your position and why seeing the post of that particular satellite photo may be a sore spot for islanders right now. I'm sure no harm was meant. Please dont read something that isnt there. I think folks were more awed by the sheer size and power of Ivan than Gee! Look at Ivan smack the crap out of Grenada. I'm sure that wasnt the intent at all.

Ivan was right in the middle of an intensification burst when he passed over St George's...

Ivan threat to S FL?

#340 Postby boca » Wed Sep 08, 2004 9:27 am

Does it look like Ivan will be a threat to SF or as time goes by less of a threat?
