Well, while it's not looking good for Florida in 5 days, right now, I still stand firm, anything >72 hours = large errors.

Once he's in the NW Carribean, we'll have a better idea.

That shear over the Gulf of Mexico will weaken the storm. That storm track is further S & W.

Still wishing I could reach through this monitor and tar and feather the goons who said "This season is a bust!" back when it was only July. :grr:

We need to find and retrieve that Dyn-o-Mat guy who saved Florida from storms past by secretly flying into them, dumping his ocean-coating solution, and turning them away from our state. :wink:

This state cannot handle another storm. We are all so very tired. I just got my electricity and phone back yesterday afternoon, and winds only gusted in the 50s here in Tallahassee.

Helen stop with the gloom and doom. Nothing is set in stone at this point-Nothing!!! I know what the models are showing and what NHC is saying, but that doesn't mean it will happen. Enough already!!!!!

I'm not saying this is not a Florida storm because it well could be. The question is what part of the state-IF ANY-gets it and what the strength will be. At 5 days out-NO ONE KNOWS!!!!

I think that the Dyno-Mat guy got lost in a storam, landed in Cuba, and is now enjoying the hospitality of the Worker's Paradise with a mojito in one hand and a Habana Cigar in the other.

I ain't worried about Ivan,I think it will hit somewhere on the Gulf coast,not South or central FL.Before Charley and Frances I had a gut feeling that they were going to hit FL,not getting that with Ivan.

It could stall south of cuba and never go any further west, turn north and out to sea, it could continue west into mexico/central america, it could stall over the yucatan pen. and hit as a much weaker system...there's some hope!
