lol,
IMO Hurricanes are like earthquakes, they come with the area, I feel SOME sympaty for the people, but no more than I do for us when we get a earthquake, which we are probably due for soon. anyway, just be prepared and hope for the best.
I agree, I tire of people whining about hurricanes when they live in florida. You know they're going to happen when you move there, just like here in California with earthquakes. Get hurrican insurance and shut up about it. Don't like it? Move.
Ivan is now a Cat 4 @150mph, preparing to hit Cuba. Likely track is to gulf and could hit the Panhandle or Gulf Coast by Tues/Wed. It's gonna be one hell of a storm.
Make that Wed/Thur it'll hit, and cuba might be spared the full brunt of the storm. The warm Gulf Waters are a fuel source, so this storm could become bigger. that would be cool, and also suck. I love weather, esp bad storms. too bad they cause alot of suffering
And you yourself are a disappointment with your ZERO knowledge about hurricanes. And the fact that you have the grammar skills of a donkey lowers your credibility ten-fold. Who in their right mind would take comments from someone who posts like that seriously?
By the way, it's called a "Category Two" Hurricane, and even a Cat 2 would beat you to the ground if you stood in its way for five or six hours, which is what most people had to do.

It's back up to Cat 5, with winds up to 160. It'll brush by Cuba, then enter the Gulf. After that, who knows what'll happen. It seems most of Florida will be spared, only the panhandle could get hit, but it's still early. This'll be the 4th Cat 5 storm to hit US Mainland, Andrew was the last.
they said now its going for the coast of mississippi, alabama, and louisiana, and the panhandle, and itll hit new orleans... all my realatives live in new orleans, or right out side of it
fcuk, that sucks. it may sound cruel, but I want Ivan to hit the Gulf coast, not Florida. If Ivan was to hit Florida, it would cause massive damage and set-back repairs even more. Florida needs a break. Tragically, at the expense of another state/city. I hope ur relatives will be alright
Residents of FL and NC have the highest probability of getting direct hits from hurricanes - around 60% combined. Louisiana is way lower than this number.
Even though one of the Cat 5's that hit the mainland was Camille, which hit the Gulf Coast in the '60's.
