Odd thing is that the computer models at weather underground seem to think this is going to go up to Tennessee and just meander. One has it looping back into Florida. Another looping the other way into Arkansas.

You folks inland had better watch out for flooding. This could get very interesting even after landfall.

All, please pray for those in Pensacola. Reports that Pensacola Coliseum is flooding. Over 2000 people are using it as a shelter.

Why would anyone think that it is okay to make that place a shelter when it is that close to the water. What were they thinking?

Is Ivan coming in at a Category 4?

[Unknown Freeper]

Reports of numerous trees down in Ft. Walton beach.

Of course. Jim "Disaster Magnet" Cantore is there. I hope all stay safe there.

At this time, yes.

Which thread is best?

I will repeat my previous reply:

As I said, this method has never been published. Actually, for a rather simple reason: How do you publish something than can only be viewed in 3D?

I could use photo-shop and draw lines to show exactly what I am looking at. However, I have no idea how to post that graphic on FR, since I do not have a website.

This was discovered about 15 years ago, when I was exploring methods to convert GOES satellite images into 3D. By assigning specific IR temperatures to altitudes, it was possible to create a synthetic 3D image.

Once these 3D images were animated, a rather curious "wall" was discovered to always be leading the hurricane.

Locate the "wall" that is leading the hurricane and you will know exactly where it will move next.

Once again, I am officially designating that the center of the eye will pass between Pensacolla and Ft. Walton Beach. The city of Gulf Breeze will definitely be in the center of the eye.

Per W5JBC HAm in Ft Walton Beach.

35 MPH sustained, gusts to 65, trees falling in his yard, he signed off.
