Dan T. Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 WTF? Didn't it move right up the Eastern Seaboard and peter out? How did it reappear in the Gulf of Mexico.? Is this a joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being over warm water like that, caused it to develop a life of it's own. Now it's a tropical depression again. It'll probably become a Storm again, but nothing more. I can't recall this happening before. Hurricanes cloning themselves....scary..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Dave Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Good god. What's next? Is the 1938 Florida Keys Hurricane going to reform off the east coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan did a clockwise loop comming back through Florida a few days ago and now might become a hurricane again and hit Texas coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliloquy Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 So what caused all those tornados last Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Punani2 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, etc are tropical low pressure systems and different from what we normally get(extratropical lows) as far as low pressure systems go. Tropical lows are more compact and spin faster then extra-tropical low pressure systems. Since they spin so fast when they move on land the lower levels of the low move a little slower because of friction then the upper levels of the low. This difference causes the winds to vary with height and when thunderstorms form they will start to rotate. Rotating thunderstorms cause tornadic activity...

halter91 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Weird, Kind of like the Perfect Storm, I t was a hurricane, then i died down and got some help from some other fronts and was the worse storm in History, or one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjTj Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 So is this Ivan II? Ivan, Jr.? Son of Ivan? The hurricane formerly known as Ivan? Ivan Returns? Ivan Resurrected? The Second Coming of Ivan? Survivin' Ivan? ... okay, I'll stop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so that's why Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, etc. cause tornados. If Ivan "Ivan did a clockwise loop comming back through Florida a few days ago", then what caused the VA/MD tornados? Are you saying that Ivan looped through VA back to FL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for him, but that is what Ivan did... looped back down from PA, VA, and such. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what was left of Ivan came up the coast it moved back out to sea and moved south and crossed florida back into the gulf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliloquy Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Wow. That's even weirder than the "clone storm" theory. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Although I live south of Dallas a bit, 4 hours from the coast, we are expected to get rain from Ivan coming ashore. Galveston tides are already wayyyyyyy out of control. Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Just when we though Ivan was a thing of the past, it has been reborn in the Gulf of Mexico and is now threatening the central and western Gulf Coast as a tropical storm. The primary impact will be coastal flooding, especially at times of high tide, and flooding rains. Showers and storms will continue to target parts of the lower Mississippi Valley and Texas Gulf Coast today as Ivan approaches. In addition, residents along the Southeast coast from Florida to the Carolinas are closely monitoring the track and forecast of Hurricane Jeanne. Check out the Tropical Update for complete coverage. Elsewhere across the South, sunshine will be widespread across the Southeast and Tennessee Valley as high pressure continues to dominate. The tail end of the front draped across the Midwest will again trigger showers and storms across the Southern Plains. Highs will generally top out well into the 80s across the entire region.
