YES he absolutely said that at the 1:50am tropical report...he said he just got the information and had a piece of paper in his hand. He said that they would discuss it at the top of the hour, but then at the top of the hour, they reverted back to playing an older loop, not including the 2am advisory (the girl was doing it) and they haven't said anything about it or had a retraction yet...

high pressure to Ivan's north
It seems that Ivan is getting a bit pushed down by a high pressure area, it seems to be digging sw all day and might this be the cause of the westward jog?
If it slows down will that make it less or more of a chance to go north?
Thanks

Ivan rejects Jamaica!
Isn't that odd how Ivan's eye turned west all of a sudden to miss a Jamaican landfall. Not that that matters or anything because they're still getting hammered, but I thought that was pretty interesting.

not that it matters?
it matters.....ALOT.....
was it geography or fluctuations in the high pressure to the north (storm did seem to "sandwich" at the same time).....hmm...someone just got a nice topic for a masters thesis..
again.....as for the "it didnt matter".....lives were saved and devastation avoided..

no comparison to what would have happened......none......of course there will be major damage..as cat 2 winds probably hit kingston (at least in gusts) and the building codes (lack of) are well documented...but the difference between that and cat 4 winds hitting.....not comparable to say the least.

Ivan vs Jamaica: report at 12:30am
I read this report and I share it with you all folks...
Ok folks it is 12:30am Saturday morning and Ivan is howling up a storm ... no pun intended! There are sounds outside that make gang wars and gun fights seem tolerable. The winds have definitely picked up here in Montego Bay and things like trees have learnt to walk freely. No vehicles on the road at this time, minimal rain it actually comes in waves of medium drizzles. The wind however, is constant, consistent and makes the Gilbert of 1988 seem as if it was a whirlwind by comparison ... the fact that this is all happening at night, without power does not make it any easier to bear.
In summary, I honestly can only write from what I hear outside, and from the sounds it doesn't sound like I will see much of anything in the morning. I can say that billboards that were in view of my house are gone with the wind. My car alarm has gone off numerous times just from the sheer force of the wind but I guess 140mph winds will do that to any vehicle!
The news has just indicated that Ivan has reduced its traverse speed to 17kmh and that it should become a CCAT5 hurricane before it actually makes landfall. I should note that with all the noise and wind and all I have mentioned here, the storm is still about 90 miles way from montego Bay ... so in a sense its only just begun!
For the persons who asked earlier about the hotels in Montego Bay, at this time I can just say that if they are by the sea, then they are going to be closed for a little while after Ivan is gone. The waves coming into Mobay were not small when the wind was lower, and now that it has really picked up I would imagine that the waves have also grown somewhat.
The scientist in me wants to say that Ivan is the perfect example of a well composed hurricane system ... a beautiful storm, on the other hand, my human side will ask what gate of hell it escaped from.
