Re: Buoy action picking up

If you look at this Bouy link:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42003
26.01 N 85.91 W (26°00'32"N 85°54'50"W)


And where the storm is now:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-wv-loop.html
LATITUDE 24.7 NORTH... LONGITUDE 87.0 WEST

I can see how NHC comes to this statement:
"IVAN IS A LARGE HURRICANE. HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP
TO 105 MILES FROM THE CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 260 MILES."

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
