Just clearing something up...
Dean's World and Connexions both linked to what I guess is supposed to be some sort of joke -- that God is trying to wipe out Republicans or something. Well, let me just attest to the fact that the Ivan path is not accurate at all. In fact, if it would have taken that path, Pensacola would have been spared a lot of the destruction we suffered. The eye made landfall in Baldwin County, Alabama. This means that Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties in Florida (along with Baldwin County) got the very worst of the storm. (The strongest part is the eastern eyewall.)
Here is a map of the path Ivan actually took, and here are regional and local radar loops of the storm making landfall.

Not "some sort of joke" but a plain, straightforward joke.
I'd already been said to one of my friends in Florida that if my theology allowed it I'd be talking of judgement. His reply? One more hurricane this season and his theology is changing!
