Oh Christ! Ivan is regrouping in the Gulf (seriously) "Ghost storm"
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/ivan_remnants

NEW ORLEANS - The remnants of Hurricane Ivan swung back into the Gulf of Mexico and threatened to develop into a tropical storm on a path westward toward southwest Louisiana and Texas.

"Right now it's not very well-organized," Williams said.


By Wednesday, the remnants of the storm kicked seas up several feet, posing a new threat to fragile barrier islands and their beaches on the Louisiana coast, and forced some offshore crews to head home. Three dozen petroleum producing platforms and drilling rigs, idled since Sept. 13 because of Ivan, remain shut in.

Williams said computer models show the system heading west and hitting land Friday or on the weekend, but not as a very strong storm.

we are terrorized on a regular basis in the Southeast with these Hurricanes, TD's whatever who can't make up their mind. Ivan already trashed the "inner East Coast." It's like the Chimp...it doesn't know when to quit...
