First off, a Crazy Ivan is when a Russian sub stops and does a complete 360 to get a better view with its sonar. Sonar, whilst effective, is more effective when directly pointed at the object. So no, just because the Hurricane was named Ivan does not mean it followed a "Crazy Ivan" pattern...for it to have accomplished this it would have had to have completed a 360. It did what most gulf hurricanes do. As for Ophelia...it's doing what is natural for hurricanes stuck between two pressure systems. It is no different then a thunderstorm system or snow system staying over a certain area for a few days. It is also no different then heat waves that prevent storms from occuring. It's not weather control, it's simply the way the atmosphere works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Hurrincane Ivan, it did what had not been documented before, as well as Oi Vey. No weather machine doo higgie making the storms act any differently, only the way God created the weather patterns is causing the storms to act the way they are.

Natural or not - it is unusual. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe our weather will reach an equilibrium point....where there's a spot of permanent storm...kinda like the spot on Jupiter....now that would be cool. Wonders if people are starting to place wagers on when this storm is going to actually do something. It's amazing that it's "stablized" in that it is stuck in one place and is cycling through so much energy without disapating.

They are still expecting a big storm tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
