Hurricane Ivan was a classic, long-lived Cape Verde hurricane that reached Category 5 strength three times during its lifespan. Ivan caused tremendous damage as it crossed Grenada, the Cayman Islands and made landfall near the Alabama/Florida border. Maximum sustained winds at landfall in the U.S. are estimated at 120mph with gusts to 140mph, Category Three intensity. At landfall, the storm's minimum central pressure was 946mb (27.94in). This video also includes some behind-the-scenes footage from the National Hurricane Center including clips of my good friends and hurricane forecasters, Lixion Avila, Jack Beven, Max Mayfield (the center's director at that time)... as well as another good friend, Monroe County ex-Civil Defense Director Billy Wagner. Also in the background is Florida Governor, Charlie Crist.

According to the NHC, winds were sustained at 80mph in Pensacola with 100mph gusts. Also, Erin was a catagory 2 storm at landfall, not a catagory 1 (It was upgraded post-season). Erin may have been even stronger, but there isn't much data due to loss of power at the airport, and the lack of any official stations at the beaches.

According to the NWS, you're wrong. The station at the airport in Pensacola stopped reporting 30 minutes before the eyewall even moved onshore.

Not to mention the i10 bridge is HOW many miles inland?

Needless to say, we stayed and i've never been so scared in my life. People seem to forget that Ivan stalled on us, spawning tornados and the like for 3+hours. THAT is the reason it was equated to a CAT 5. Hearing your roof being peeled off sounds like a sardine tin.
