Hurricane frances. -3 video's.-

Just wanted to let everyone see just how WINDY it is. Everytime i would go to take a video, the wind would die down a bit. It's actually worse than this though. :p

I was talking to Val, on AIM and was telling her that, I kept waking up during the night to the sound of tree branches crashing into my window. It sounded like someone was throwing a basketball at it or something. Their was a bit of a "Break" but now the break is over, and it's just ugly.

Anyway, there's 3 videos the first one was yesterday, they are all pretty much the same thing, just of different veiws. The video's dont even do the justice to how windy it really is.

The next two are the one's i took right now, notice the darkness of the second one. And to think these are only the outer band's of the hurricane. :eek: The whole hurricane isn't even here yet!

And the last.. :o

That's how it's looking here now, too. The wind does die down and pick back up again. I just wish it would get through quickly and then leave us all alone! I swear, I'm going to gain 10 pounds from this.

:eek: Oh My! How scary! All the people in the storm will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Wow. :( I hope you guys will be okay.. they're talking about it over here, too. Looks scary.

Stay safe!

They don't work for me. Hope everything is ok

It looks sooooo windy! How scary!!!

Stay safe. :(

My prayer is that there are no deaths or injuries from this horrible hurricane!

She also said that the eye of frances was the size of Texas at one point. It grew down but now its getting stronger again. I am praying much stronger now! I believe that it works and is powerful! Goodluck to all and stay safe!

Hurricane Ivan forms in central Atlantic, Floridians watch track

CORALIE CARLSON

Associated Press


MIAMI - Floridians might have a third hurricane to worry about: Hurricane Ivan formed Sunday in the central Atlantic with a long-term forecast that could bring it to the state by early next week.

With top sustained winds of about 85 mph, Ivan was about 2,500 miles east-southeast of Miami, too far away to tell with any certainty whether it would hit the continental United States. It was expected to keep strengthening, with hundreds of miles of warm water before the nearest land.

But particularly after the back-to-back Hurricanes Charley and Frances, Floridians should monitor any hurricane on a general path toward the state, forecasters said.

"Hopefully they won't let their guard down too much over the next week," said Eric Holweg, meteorologist at the hurricane center.

Even as Frances pummeled central Florida with 95 mph winds and heavy, emergency officials were preparing for Ivan, said Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

"We're watching for it just as we're gearing up and watching for wildfires in California and floods through the Midwest," Brown said.

At 11 a.m. EDT, Ivan was about 1,040 miles east of the Windward Islands in the southern Caribbean and moving west near 21 mph. It was expected to turn gradually west-northwest over the day.

Ivan was expected to approach the Lesser Antilles by Tuesday and reach the Bahamas by Friday. The path was similar but south of Frances' track into Florida's east coast.

"You might want to be smart about whether you take down your shutters," Miami-Dade County manager George Burgess said Sunday at a briefing on the aftermath of Frances.

Both Ivan and Frances formed as tropical storms near Cape Verde off the African coast, an area known as a breeding ground for storms that become big hurricanes.

"They tend to be stronger systems, just because they have such a great environment to grow in as they cross the Atlantic," Holweg said.

Ivan was already causing some worry at the National Hurricane Center. When Max Mayfield, director of the hurricane center, first saw a satellite image of the strengthening storm, his reaction was, "Oh no."

Holweg said it wasn't unusual to have so many hurricanes at this time of year, which is nearing the peak of the hurricane season. What was unusual, he said, was for one state to be hit in such quick succession.

Center officials have predicted that there would be more tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic over the next several years.

Hurricane Charley hit Florida's southwest coast with 145 mph winds on Aug. 13 and crossed the state, killing 27 people and causing billions of dollars in damage. On Sunday, Hurricane Frances made landfall near Stuart with 105 mph winds.

Hashy,

This is it's intended path. You can see it's still far out in the ocean, but who know's how fast it will go..
