Check out the following link. Click on the box where Ivan is headed and you can click on some of the buoys. One of them closer to Ivan has apparently "failed". I wonder why...

One bouy off Cape Canaveral broke free during Frances. Many weather reporting stations broke.

41012 used to have a webcam on it. Are you able to see if the cam is still there? I can't find info on it.

Buoy 42001 is classic; here comes Ivan! I've been checking in hourly. Earlier today, it was at 4 ft wave ht, now up to 8 and climbing.
