The real BIG one?

just hope it doesn't come to Central America.

the strength he will have by then would give us a large death toll.

he is getting larger.

Hurricane force winds extend 70 miles from the center

Tropical storm force winds extend 160 miles from the center.

That is already bigger than Charley.

did you get the memo?

He is projected to be a category 4 by that time.

Central America is not exactly equiped to survive a category 4 storm.

especially if it happens to Honduras or Nicaragua.

I know its 6 years since Mitch.

but those countries would take longer than 6 years to recover from such disaster that the US would for example.

did you get the memo?

Ah, but where was the cover on the TPS report?

sorry I gutted a fish on it.

Folks, take a look at the NHC forecast advisory as of 5 AM. They seem to have a reasonably good grasp of the environmental factors that will impact Ivan later in the week.

Just remember what J.B. says, the NHC does a great job with deep tropicial systems it's the handoffs they as everyone tussel with. Should be very close to the 96hr forecast.
