this is from the just released update on Ivan - not sure what it means for you guys.......

At 10 am CDT...1500z...the center of Hurricane Ivan was located near latitude 32.0 north...longitude 87.5 west or about 65 miles west-southwest of Montgomery Alabama.


Ivan is moving toward the north near 14 mph. A gradual turn toward the northeast and a decrease in forward speed are expected during the next 24 hours. This motion should bring the center across central Alabama today and into northeastern Alabama tonight.


Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 75 mph...with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast during the next 24 hours... and Ivan will likely weaken to a tropical storm this afternoon.

Just started raining hard here, NW of Atlanta. Winds moderate, but increasing from the east, as you would of course expect.

I've been watching the weather channel. Mad Ivan it was. And yet there's another one outside of Ivan, Jean, I think that can possibly wreak some more havoc on Florida.

And I have the audacity to complain about the heat. Shame on me.

Rain and wind, wind and rain. Everyone is safe!
