That picture reminds me of that one picture taken in Australia that many at first thought was Isabel.

Do you personally know the winds at your house?

You were on the weak side of a stronger storm, which happened to be moving faster. Ivan was a slow and weaker storm.

But the key here...

When you have multiple storms come through the same area in a couple years time frame. The first storms cause the most damage, becuase they destroy the weaker items in nature. This leaves only the stronger more resilient things... thus why less damage would occur even in a stronger storm.

But you were on the weaker side of it. I am sure the people that went through the eye would STRONGLY disagree with you. Any real met. knows the difference, and it has been argued on here too many times. I am done.

Exhibit Frances and Jeanne here in Central Palm Beach county.
Jeanne was much more fierce for us but after a howling night; less damage then Francis since the weak trees, etc... were already done in by the first storm.

Photo is real. The guy who took the photo is reputable and runs a photographic studio there near Grayton Beach, FL. Plus, this "wall cloud" that moved ashore along the coast for many miles between Panama City and Destin was very well documented by many separate photographers, including the NW Florida Daily News and Pensacola News Journal photojournalists (although none captured it as well as Ken did in that photo) on the day before Dennis made landfall.

WEARtv showed the same thing from a LIVE beach cam that the weather segment uses. They used the cam as long as possible before Dennis made landfall. It was a front view of the clouds and they were the whole length of Northwest Fla. Boy, it was awsome!!!!

OK, my mistake. Just wasn't sure, as it did kinda look like the one I was talking about.

Very impressive then, I must say! Albeit, deadly and destructive impressive. :(
