ir·re·gard·less
adv. Nonstandard
Regardless.

[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

My best guess on this is: I think this storm is going in the general direction of the area where Ivan hit.
Maybe a little further east even.

Irregarless is not a word, you mean regardless.
Actually I meant irregardless. I am aware of the official status of the word.
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000
ADVERB: Nonstandard Regardless

You will also see me use ain't, errrr, ahhh, etc. on the forum. If I am preparing business correspondence, these particular words would be left out. In the informal setting of this forum proper grammar is not of much concern to me, the weather is

I think you are in for a soaking irregarless of the eye location and heading. Of course, closer would mean it would be a bit windier, but the rain should be the worst part.
Irregarless is not a word, you mean regardless.
He forgot the D but irregardless is technically a word.

It's what surrounds the center of a stronger system(example: eye of a hurricane). Huge thunderstorm complex where the strongest winds are located.
