They might be better off making their way to a hospital now. I'm not sure whether it's the pressure drop or some other factor, but it seems instinct kicks in when these storms come (the papers reported a HUGE influx in births immediately prior to and during Frances).

Best of luck to them either way.

Why does it seem that the eye is still moving nnw? Are they still predicting a turn to the north before landfall?

I just want to thank y'all for a very educating week. Should a hurricane ever come up the Mississippi for a rumble with the show me state, I'll be ready

Seriuosly I will be praying for you folks down south tonight. God Bless

Ouch - looking at the radar loop, it seems to be a hell of lot closer to a path leading straight for NO...

Ken, I can handle 70 K winds OK, but looks like things will go bad in a hurry... I just don't want any 135-140 winds.... still monitoring everything, Steve let me know if you think this thing will go past 88.5, that my critical line.... going take perhaps my last hot shower for probably somtime...

the the last VIPER profile looks more encouraging for me... I just got to have the winds out of the north...

Its a lot easier tracking a hurricane as opposed to waiting for one... I have never wishcast as hard as I am doing right now for this to go east of me...

thanks

Oh Frank, Javelin (et al in the path)--now is the time to track the wobbles via radar if you can get the loops. The movements there will be more readily apparent than by satellite. Sometimes these wobbles aren't what they appear on satellite--esp. infrared.

I've just pulled up the Mobile long range, and the entire eye is now visible--which should really help you guys with where you end up in the eyewall. Unfortunately, I've just realized that despite my passion for US geography (anyone ever notice that people intersted in weather or always also interested in geography???), I don't exactly know where Biloxi is in relation to the Miss. coastline.

Anyway, extrapolating out the current motion looks to put the eye ashore on the Ala/Miss boarder.

I'm sorry to say, I think Ivan is going to be very very bad for Mobile....

Dauphin Island Ala. getting some serious waves...

Didn't someone mention yesterday that Ivan might clip to the left to seek out water; ie, Lake Ponchatrain (sp)?

try the NO radar. You can see the whole eye. And it seems to be constricting some. Very impressive storm

Check out the buoy to the east of Ivan. Business is picking up.

And the one dead ahead.

Using Skeetobite's map (either go to www.skeetobite.com) or check the front page of this thread, you can see where Biloxi, NO, Mobile, et. al. are located

Clyde/Jav, watching the loop, does hint of about 350.... not what I want to see but could be bobbling back and forth... will continue to watch... probably have another 2-3 hours before point of no return....

recon will have the best fix on the eye as long range radar does not hit the center, not sure if the mid levels could be leaning to one side or the other....

not looking good right now for MS/AL/NW Fl to say the least...

Thanks FlaRebel, great site.

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42040

The plot of wind vs. pressure is dramatic, and the wave data at the bottom (30+ swell, 19' wind waves) is downright scary.

not that its 340 or 350 its that it consistently punches west for just enough to skew off the normal nnw movement progs.

I had the same situation during Frances. I just cracked open the front door to look out at the storm and the wind came in and rushed up the staircase and blew the attic ceiling door right off. This was only during a Cat. 2 storm. If it had been a Cat. 4 it may have caused the roof to lift. So, the bottom line is even if you are so eager to see out of a shutterred up house, don't open the door during the height of the storm. I only opened it a crack and this happened. Don' t let any air in.
