First, it is soooooooo good to have the site back up!
Now as far as "The Russian Bear" Ivan...Just a gut feeling tells me one of three things as far as landfall...
1) Ivan goes between the west tip of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula and heads for a Texas lanfall anywhere from Brownsville to Houston landfall...
2) Ivan goes over Cuba and pays Fidel a visit in Havana and then heads northwestward for a Mid GOM coast landfall anywhere from FWB, Fla to NoLa
3) Ivan does a Charley/Frances of sorts, heads over Havana and goes northward to make landfall where Frances did and straddles the AL/GA border causing a large bit of damage again in the Atlanta Metro area..
One disclaimer though---I do reserve the right to change this predicition as late as Friday by 5pm
Those are my three guesses, but one thing I'm pretty confident about is Ivan will not be a fish pureer....
