The Mobile area population is about 500,000 and this just includes the two coastal counties in Alabama. A couple hundred thousand people live just east across the FL border.
With Ivan's large wind field, a population area of 750,000 people could experience Cat 3/4 winds.
The damage would be extreme.
For reference, South Dade where Andrew hit only had a population of about 200,000 in 1992.
Ivan could top Andrew in damages if it hits Mobile as Cat 4
