I dunno, Chris. Maybe it's updating every 30 seconds, but the weather should be a lot worse there now and the date should be today, not yesterday :wink: .

The previous record wave height of 40ft occurred during Hurricane Lili.
Does anyone else think Ivan seems to be strengthening?? The eye seems much more symmetrical and rigid in the last few infrared shots.

It's interesting to note the complete lack of radar echoes immediately to the west and south of the eyewall. This part of the storm also coincides with the coolest cloud tops noted on the latest infrared image. How can this be?
Entrainment of dry air from NW of the center perhaps?
Could the waves be so high in that area that they are blocking the radar signal?? :wink:
EDIT: Pressure up to 933mb....probably just leveling off?
