Louisiana to Florida, here comes Hurricane Ivan (pix)
 

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Coastal residents along the Gulf of Mexico were beginning to evacuate Tuesday, trying to evade Hurricane Ivan, a dangerous Category 4 storm projected to hit from the Florida Panhandle to the Texas-Louisiana border sometime early Thursday.

this hurricane is going to hit hard !! :helpme

Ivan is mean:(

Things are looking pretty sad for Floridians. Best of luck.

Things are actually looking very good. It may scrape the panhandle but that's about it. It was projected earier on to be more of a direct hit.

>>HighRes<<

Heart goes out to all those effected.

Greetings from ground zero! I'm boarded up. Got food, batteries, sandbags, etc. It's like a ghost-town. I-65 is northbound only. First time they've ever tried that shit before. I'll get pics up in a sec. Got alot of video too. I'll try and keep updates until they kill the power. Good luck fellow gulf coast residents! There's a 20+ foot swell due south of us. :helpme

Ohno! You're not in it too! :(

YOU STAY SAFE OR I WILL KICK YOUR ASS.


Seriously, all you had to do was call me and you and your beautiful lady would have had a safe, (if somewhat rural), place to stay. Now all I can do is watch and wait and hope.

Get in touch as soon as you can after this thing blows over to let me know you're safe, please. 931-284-9362

Thanks babe! Angela sends greetings! We're gonna ride this bad-boy out! :glugglug

Ah, and it's no where near being over. New Tropical Storm Jeanne expected to intensify to hurricane status in the next 24. However, this one seems to be taking a much more easterly route and my well just skim the eastern coast of Florida instead of hitting the state head on.

This means that folks in the Carolinas need to be watching this one; its track will lead it to slam into South Carolina's southern shoreline somewhere between Tuesday and Wednesday.

**Note: This is just the model I'm reading. The numbers are ugly, but honestly, I don't think it's going to be huge. Will update as I know more.**

At least it gave me a chance to do some remodelling:

Then of course my neighbors had to bite on my style:

Was at the gulf 3 minutes ago (had to run to the store)
Normally smooth as glass, now we are getting 12 foot waves!
No wind yet to speak of...but it's coming.
Winds at my place are not supposed to go over 70mph, so I'm
sticking it out here. Mandatory evacuation is for pussies (lol)

Hope the tree doesn't fall on your house. :(

On an up note, your house is cute!! I like!:thumbsup

wow, those are indeed some eye-cathing pics above

Wow, that looks cool

good luck you guys,

i went through hurricane andrew in florida aver 12 years ago, was not fun. be safe.

That thing looks brutal, good luck to everyone down there !

hang on ther dude, keep you fingers crossed :thumbsup

Goodluck guys, 3rd time this month if i am right

It's about 150 miles due south. Getting some strong gusts. Feeling the first bands. Pensacola is under a tornado warning already. Anyone in New Orleans have anything to report?

Thanks! Hopefully that pic won't be any different when I take the "after" shot. :helpme

It's still calm here. I'm guessing around 4-5 o' clock we'll be seeing hard wind and rain.

Good luck bro. Lived there a year. Unbelievable how far below sea level NO is.

Ouch! Good look to everyone!

i just got some satellite images on that new storm which continues to pound Puerto Rico
