"IVAN Strikes Back!"

Hurricane Ivan is turning out to be a real pain in the ass. Not only did he (and his remains) claim the lives of almost 130 people (not all Americans) he also was the cause of major river flooding in North Jersey. He tore through the entire eastern sea board and left parts of where he first landed in shambles.

Now a large part of Ivan went back south and hit warm water again. He skippped over part of Florida again and is gaining strenght AGAIN. Of course he is in the gulf and won't get as much energy, but he is now a tropical depression again, and will likely be upgraded till a tropical storm when he hits land AGAIN.

How very strange.

Now New Jersey is usually more likely to get hit by a hurricane later in the season. We are in that part now, and although Jeanne isn't I direct threat it is likely to hit closer to use landfall wise the start of next week.
