My impression is that IVAN is moving to the south of Grand Cayman
Island. I have noticed the forecast path seems to be moving further
west each time, I'm begining to think this has similar features to the
Galveston Storm over 100 years ago and maybe it will reach landfall
near New Orleans or further west.
