Re: Ivan Likely to Landfall in Jamaica Overnight as a Category 5 Hurricane

I dunno bout that vortex message but I think it "may" have been true. Just a classic case of NHC being alittle conservative and not jumping the gun maybe? They could be trying to keep the message away from the public until a few more recon passes can verify whether or not it was true. This is just my best guess for now.
