This is not good., and the thing is, due to the large size of Ivan, N/S - E/W, many will be affected in a bad way.

Well, I'm not a Met, but I haven't seen BAM get it right yet.

Considering Ivan's size, I doubt he'll be able to make any sudden, severe turns. I think any extreme movements, one way or another, are out of the picture at this point.

Again though, I'm not a Met, this is just a personal opinion. Fwiw...
