September 2004 Storm of the Month

The Hurricane Season stole the show again this month with a very close call coming from Ivan. One of the more intense storms on record, Ivan reached Category 5 status on three separate ocassions. Fortunately, the storm was a little weaker before landfall several hours following the Satellite Image below. There were winds up to 60 to 65 mph in portions of eastern Mississippi with numerous trees blown down once the storm moved inland into western Alabama.
