Tropical Update


A strengthening Ivan is battering Jamaica
11:18 P.M. ET Fri.,Sep.10,2004
Tim Ballisty, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel



Hurricane Ivan is even a more powerful and deadly Category 4 (nearly Category 5) hurricane tonight as winds are now sustained at 155 mph. This is just one mph away from Category 5 status. After weakening a bit early on Friday the hurricane has really gone through a tremendous deepening phase.

Ivan's well-defined eye is currently just over 30 miles away from Kingston, Jamaica but hurricane as a whole is already battering the island. Amateur radio reports emanating from Jamaica report that rainfall has been torrential and horizontal, the winds are unleashing their destructive power, and ocean waves have been as high as a two-story building.

Extreme damage is anticipated, especially over the southern half of the island. The torrential rains that are ongoing will cause a great deal of flooding and mountain mudslides island-wide. Storm surge will be moderate but high waves will continue to batter the southern coast. After Jamaica, Ivan will then set course for the Cayman Islands on Saturday.

Hurricane warnings are in effect for both Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. By the end of the weekend, Ivan is forecast to cross over western Cuba (a hurricane watch is in effect for the whole island) and then take aim on Florida, still as a major hurricane, Monday and Tuesday. The future path of Ivan is by no means set so keep it tuned to The Weather Channel for the latest updates.

Ivan wiped out 90 per cent of Granada's buildings before it hit Jamaica... Talk about flattening an island :eek:

Yeah, I heard about that. I saw the news and they were all sitting without homes on the streets, without power, and I heard that some prison was destroyed and that now prisoners were running free on the island terrorizing citizens.

My heart goes out to them and to Jamaica. That storm sux.

Some Jamaican resident said something along the lines of "this storm looks like a killer, a lot of us are going to end up dead" referring to Ivan.

I hope that's not true. I hope people will be ok

I wouldn't say "battering." More like "pimp slapping"
obviously you've never been able to harness the power of cleavage...
