This is first post on site. Have been on site for 2 weeks now and just want to thank all for info and to keep up the good work. My questions is if Ivan goes over eastern Jamaica wont the mts there rip storm apart. If im right mts are as much as 7500 feet high there. It just seems like that terrain would do quite a bit of damage to storm. Again thanks to all who help site as good as it is.




Given the small size of Jamaica compared to the robust size of Ivan, it won't do much to weaken him. The center of Ivan would not be over Jamaica for a long period of time. Cuba has a better chance of disrupting things if Ivan moves more towards central Cuba. If he passes through the Isle of Youth like Charley, Cuba won't weaken him that much either.
