On a serious note, I'm really worried about Ivan. I was one of the lucky people in my neighborhood to have not lost power, TV, Sat, Water or had structure damage to our house. 3 houses down from me our neighbor had a huge oak tree crash into his house. That was actually a common thing in my neighborhood, seeing trees crashed on houses with 20 ft+ of roots dangling in the air. My roomates and I were being good samaritans and let people in our neighborhood come by for some refreshing AC, kill some beers and use the phone. We actually had parties all day/all night for 3-4 days. All our friends came over, we were barbecue'ing in the storm with 50mph winds going crazy around us, had a frig slam packed full of beer and Jaegermeister with a couple packs of redbull. Keep in mind though, we're in Jacksonville. It was by far a fun labor day weekend even with Frances.
I don't think Ivan will be fun for anyone.

i definitely feel your pain considering i live about 20 min. from you.
i did not lose any power either since my neighborhood's power lines are underground.
Ivan is freaking me out too. this is just one really bad season for everyone esp. florida. i hear that the chance is greater that the storm will either go to the Bahamas or the Gulf of Mexico. florida is just caught in the middle. we are definitely in danger though.
i heard on the news that when Ivan went through Guatemala, it destroyed a prison and all the prisoners escaped!!
