Ivan's headed to the Gulf Coast...

Ivan, that bastard of a hurricane that has already decimated places in the Caribbean, is now in the Gulf of Mexico and headed right for land. Specifically, New Orleans eastward to the panhandle of Florida. It's expected to hit there sometime Thursday as a weak Category 4 or a strong Category 3.

I wish Saon would call just to tell me he's okay. He knew about the possibility that the storm would hit shortly after he arrived; he told me before he left Hutch last Friday.

PS: keep Jami Hicks in your prayers. She's still missing.
