Maybe in my ignorance I phrased it wrong. What they showed was I believe the jet stream shifting south behind a trough of dry air (again terminology may be wrong). You could distinctly see the dry air, and behind it a bunch of stuff moving quickly south, currently over OK and that general area. They said (heard something about it on TWC as well) that when the hurricane got to it, it would "pick it up" and that's what would carry it NE. Question is where it will be when it meets up with Ivan.

With respect to winning, I'm only referring to what gets to the gulf first, not who gets hit. I'm in Tampa, and we for sure don't need it here, there wouldn't be much of a downtown above water.
