Tornado reported on the ground in Panama City, captured by video from wjhg's tower cam. (Yes Jason Kelly's station)
2 people reported killed by tornado..

5PM advisory out for Ivan, pressure to 933, winds remain same but probably will ramp up to follow the pressure drop. It has responded to the warm eddy it was over, winds may go up but it seems likely as a cat 4 landfall now.

Wave hights of 42-50 ft (Fourty-Two to Fifty feet) were recorded
at a buoy 75 miles south of Dauphin Island.

Good Luck All!

Original Update
Jeanne has made landfall in Puerto Rico as a strong Tropical Storm.

Meanwhile...

Hurricane Ivan is maintaining itself strength wise as it moves closer to the Gulf coast. We are watching the track extremely close.

Movement of Ivan appears to be almost due north right now... Aircraft recon reports pressure down 2mb to 937 from the 2pm advisory.

More to Come...

** SITE NOTE ** Although we are working on improving the site hardware and bandwidth (thanks to donations and help from others), we are still using the old system currently, with slight modifications. Therefore the site may go down from time to time, although not for very long. We are continually working on improving the response without removing usefulness. We have new hardware on order and should be in sometime next week.
