Ivan has been a rather theatrical storm, what with the skull, smileys, lizard eye, double eyes, figure 8s...

I can't wait 'til he drops his britches and moons us all.

Pirouettes <sp?>, spins, turns, dips. Ivan has dodged more land that I would have believed possible. Looks like he's trying to avoid the tip of Cuba now.

>>Notice the eye was again avoiding land<<

Yet Again, it wobbles at the last moment, enough to keep the eye Just offshore.. Just like Jamaica, Grand Caymen, and now again, Cuba.. This hurricane must have the Strongest sense of Self Preservation weve ever seen in an Inanimate Object!!!
