Severe weather affecting Yucatan

‘Ivan’ has taken on mind boggling proportions.

I’m just awe-struck by the sheer devastating power and natural beauty of this extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane, which is now 400 miles (640km) across.

It goes without saying that my thoughts are with all those who have suffered as a result of the hurricane… and with those still waiting with trepidation.

Contributors to Wikipedia are doing a good job of summarising the history of the storm thus far.
