well.."CATEGORY" wise is was smaller at land fall in the US as oppossed to the CAT4 status it had near the Bahamas), but lots of flooding (which is the worse overall effect of a Hurricane) Tornados and storm surge (the ocean water pushed on shore-5'-10' above normal)
It was so slow and still is...image a buzzsaw..
lots of damage...time will tell.the eye is just over land
"IVAN" right now about the same path about a week out as well

Weathermap:
It's been like that for over ten hours, now.
They're expecting it to weaken to tropical storm strength...eventually, but to rev back up into a hurricane once it hits the Gulf.

Nope, thank goodness.
when is Ivan coming?
Next week, but hopefully not here. Ivan might actually tear itself apart, as they expect it to be moving at 70 mph for a bit (the storm, not the winds).

Why do you think N.C. gets hit so often . . .

... well IIRC God used earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires etc to punish evildoers. Florida has been hit a couple of times this year & California has wildfires and earthquakes - isn't it obvious that God hates the GOP ?There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

And the Midwest gets tornados and thunderstorms, while the Lib'ruls up north only get a ton of snow dropped on them during Xmas season. Yes, yes, clearly God punishes those who vote GOP...I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

One more thing: he has never used lightning as an overt act -- that would be Zeus, not Yahweh.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

God hates Sin, not the sinner...
Thats why he sent Jesus to Die for your sins, to pay the price..
Just to keep the correct information flowing
Oh and why North Carolina gets so many hurricanes..
#1 we are on ocean
#2-we jut our so far when looking at the eastern seaboard.
Just to keep them also on facts
