But by a wider margin.

It looks like Ivan is headed into the Gulf. It may still affect Florida, but the most probably target is the Panhandle, and both weather.com and accuwearther.com have taken southeastern Florida out of the target zone. That's good, because we didn't need another one, particularly so soon, but it may be hard on people in the panhandle, or the Gulf Coast in general. Send them your best wishes, and donations.

There is still a tiny chance that New Orlean can suffered its doomsday scenerio (A Catagory 5 hurricane going up the mouth of Mississippi).

Living in Houston, I'll keep a weather eye on it until the WNW becomes N or NE and have a lot of sympathy for whoever gets hit.

I feel really good that we've sold my late father's place in Niceville. The checks should clear through before Ivan can arrive.

Looks like it will git Mo at Gitmo. Could be hell to pay.
