This is an interesting page, I think it was on this pagw that it says than Ivan rivals the 1926 hurricane that hit the Mobile-Pensacola area then.

I believe that 168mph was registered at an area electric plant, which of course is unofficial and it was also at a heigth that is not "normal" for "official" measurements.

The storm surge at the top of Pensacola Bay at the I-10 bridge was on the order of 18-25 feet I believe. Having crossed that bridge many times it had to be a minimum of 20' imo to do what it did to the bridge. I have heard no reports of a 30' storm surge with Ivan anywhere.
