About all they can do if they live on the west coast, current predicted path
shows it going right back up there. I would finish by saying that it looks
like Ivan's going for a ko.

Good to hear from you, sounds like you weathered the last couple.

Roy, have you evacuated or are you sitting it out on your boat?

Boats are centered in canal in a spider web of long lines. separate
cache of hurricane provisions in boat & in house(mobile home) . I
live in low lying area, 8' surge will be about waist deep. Separate
cache of water/food/cooking/generator 10 miles away @ 15' elevation.
car fueled ready to run to mainland worst case senario, its keeps
favoring its most westerly track of the five models. Key West is
empty not much remains open, florida city reported 1000 cars an hour
evacutaing.

5 day predictions do not seem nearly as accurate as the three day,
last weds forecast looked bad for us, todays is much more
favorable.......

Hopefully it will pass by Florida altogether and go visit Joe sitting there
in TX....he doesn't have enough to worry about....

Those folks down in Florida need a break. Sound like Roy (it's Capt.
KeyWest, right?) has the right idea to secure the boat, it's just as
well to be prepared.

Right now it looks like H. Ivan is moving further and further west, may
not even hit the States.

Since when? Apalachicola and Panama City (Florida) aren't in the "States"?

You really do need to think before you type...Ivan's even heading towards the
western end of NC. I guess that's not in the "states" either?

You need to look up the definition of the word "may."

As of this morning it looks more probable that H. Ivan will hit Yucatan.
It's too far west to have much chance of hitting any part of Florida.

Seem the storm will enter the yucatan cut today. The way NOAA keep
moving the track west it may indeed come to this area.

That OK, unlike the wimps in S. Florida we know how to deal with
storms. We have planned for months where to go if needed. We have
several hurricane hole picked out, boats fuled up, generator has fresh
oil and filters. If it is under a cat 2 we will just stay here in the
marina and ride it out like we have several other hurricanes.

Still I would not wish a hurricane on anyone Katy. Even if it make a
direct hit here some of my neighbors might not fare as well as
RedCloud.

We will keep a close eye on it's track.

Hey, I think he may have seen a projection that showed Ivan headed towards
Mexico. Instead of calling people names why not put in a few extra hours at
work before your bankrupt employer tosses you to the street. Maybe your one of
the reasons for their problem.
