So last week Ivan runs into LA and FL and devestates areas around Pensacola, Fl then goes up the US east coast and creates major floods from the Gulf of Mexico to Pennsylvania. The upper circulation part of the storm get sheared and heads into the northern regions BUT the lower circulation goes off of the coast near So. NJ. Then it does some thing unheard of... it goes down the east coast of the US, crosses FL south of Miami two days ago with strong winds and some floods then goes into the gulf of mex. The hurricane center just renamed the storm Ivan this past hour and now is almost in the same exact place it was this time last week but moving west instead of north....

Hurricane Jeanne, recurved because of Ivan's outflow and influence last week is now ending its recurve loop and heading for the eastern US this weekend.

And another strange event, "Lisa", rare in itself in the small size and close proximity to "Karl" when it developed, is being absorbed by a tropical wave overtaking it from the east. It is also rare for a storm to be absorbed by another tropical system...

Enough storms already, NC just by itself has seen the influence of 6 named storms so far this season.

Weird Weather...
