Unbelievable! Remnants of Ivan back in Gulf. May reform/strengthen???

[fishnfla]

The remnants of hurricane Ivan have spun a circle and are crossing the Florida peninsula today, may re-enter the gulf and strengthen.

that would be just a cruel twist of fate if the storm hits the panhandle again.

man this has been one strange year for hurricanes

[Maddy McCall]

1. If that were to happen, would it be considered Ivan II, or would it...

get a new name?

Good luck, Floridian. From a Mississippian. :scared:

4. yeah, I've been hearing a lot about that!

(thanks to everyone who wrote ...)

[arcos]

5. hahahahahaaha

Nice to meet you Ms. Tropical Storm Lisa! :hi:

[Lisa0825]

8. I've been getting that joke a lot too:-)

I tell them I'm hoping to be a nice storm and just go fishing in the mid-atlantic a while.

[Lisa]

12. oh, that was only the start ...

Excerpt from an NHC bulletin forwarded to me this morning:
">>LISA IS A SMALL AND RATHER COMPACT TROPICAL CYCLONE. AS SUCH...IT
IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SHARP CHANGES IN INTENSITY...BOTH STRENGTHENING AND
WEAKENING."

Given that I'm shorter than average, I suppose it was just too good a shot to pass up. By the way, the sender is in Alabama -- imagine the irony, if "Hurricane Patty" comes roaring through in 2006!


For the other Lisas out there -- here's a list of the proposed names in the Atlantic and Pacific. If people are giving you a hard time, see if they've got namesakes!

3. Just heard the same

Going back for seconds?

That big high pressure system is pushing the storms around in a very wierd way.............

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. Crap crap crap crap!!!!! When are these people going to get a break? n/t

[Pale_Rider]

7. Most of Ivan went north up the eastern seaboard.

Check out the 16 hour radar loop ...

9. But the center of circulation (Low pressure) of Ivan

is now just off the coast of FL. I know since I got soaked when going out to lunch today near Daytona Beach.

[fishnfla]

10. i could believe it when i heard it either

apparantly it spun out and drifted back down south.

It was just a Dudley Duright describes, windy and rainy here today, winds 25 out of the NE. 11 to 13 foot seas.

un fricking real. i cant believ it'll strengthen again, but who knows

[Cheswick2.0]

11. does anyone have a picture of that?

I can't beleive it. Ivan just left here a few days ago.

[fishnfla]

13. try this

its the disturbance over Fl to the west of Jeanne

[ewagner]

14. Good news!

Jeanne will probably get ripped apart by upper level wind shear...

that's what my meteorology sources tell me anyway.

15. Un-freaking-beleivable!

The sheer power of nature is simply astounding
