Ivan Not Finished Yet

Looks like the hurricane that was Ivan is not finished with his reign of terror yet. After pummelling Grenada, Cuba, Jamaica, the Caymans, Alabama and the Florida panhandle, the storm made its way up the eastern seaboard, leaving more death and destruction in its wake. Ivan the Terrible then turned suddenly and headed south. He brushed across the Florida peninsula giving us a couple of days of cooler temperatures, gray skies and pissy little rain showers before exiting into the Gulf of Mexico. Over the warm Gulf waters, Ivan restrengthened into a tropical storm. It now appears that he will make landfall again along the Gulf coast, possibly hitting Louisiana or Texas.

It's maddening, to say the least. Check out the twisted path here: NOAA Graphics Archive
