Hurricane Ivan 2004

9/11 for Jamaica - About 60 miles from Kingston
the progress of Ivan stalled at about 1000 PM
last night and veered west along the coast. While
this saved the inland areas of Jamaica from the
total devastation - of passing under the eye of
this "Extremely Dangerous" storm - it meant that
the storm also stayed over Kingston a lot longer
as it stopped and changed to a westerly course
raking along the southern coast to Montego Bay,
dumping even more flooding in the southern
exposure than was expected. See infrared
enhancement from 6PM last night (below) The
projected path - black icons above from the USN
forecast of 0600 - shows that IVAN is headed for
Havana. However - if you read the John Maxwell
column for 9/11 - Ivan's voracious appetite for
power, the resistance of Cuba and the high
pressure zone building in Florida, could just
send this extemely dangerous storm closer, on a
path, to Crawford, Texas. FORECASTER RAW -
SEPTEMBER 11, 2004
