Hey everyone...This is a pretty cool site that we were looking at during map discussion today. It shows each of the different model tracks for Ivan and quite a few other things.
http://www.crownweather.com/tropical.html
I see from an intermediate update that hurricane hunters have measured a 914 mb pressure which equates to 165 mph. I wounder when the last hurricane in the Atlantic was this strong. Was it Mitch?
Actually the last hurricane to be this strong was last year with Isabel but it down graded pretty quick before it got to any sort of landfall. (And it was out off the East coast and not near the Gulf of Mexico) I do believe that Mitch is the last Cat 5 to make landfall somewhere in central/North America
Ivan appeared to go through another cycle today as the eye disappeared in the early morning but then rebounded quickly this afternoon with significant intensification.
