South east coast of Florida its looking like now.... This one has been milling around out there for weeks now. Can't make up its mind. Now it appears to have done so. This is Jeanne



Ivan became a Tropical storm again after going through Florida, Alabama and Georgia and then us in SC/NC... up to the NE and then going back down to Florida and across and then into the Gulf and reforming.... it is going to Louisiana and Texas it seems.

Correct. Expectations are strengthen a bit then deintensify before landfall. But you know how that goes. All depends...

How's Ivan? I heard that may be reforming in the Gulf of Mexico and may hit Florida again because it went in one big loop and is reforming, maybe?

I thought i heard on the news the other day when a huricane drops down to a tropical storm they rename it, but if there is a tropical storm ivan, i guess i heard wrong.

There is some controversy about that. Ivan actually dropped to not even a depression. Thats even below a Tropical Storm. It was nothing but a tropical disturbance for while. Moved down the east coast and over Florida again. But for some reason they considered it still tropical and not extratropical. Even though the National Hurricane center quit tracking and issuing reports on it for four or five days they have tracked its remnants and did not ever declare it "extratropical". So they are reusing the name for its reformed remnants. Seems thats enough as it never went Extratropical. And seems until it does they keep the name. News to me...

Another Tidbit is unless a tropical storm makes landfall as a major hurricane the name gets back into the name pool and is reused. If it does make landfall as a major cane its retired.
