THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PENSACOLA, Fla. — Hurri
cane Ivan drilled the Gulf Coast
on Thursday with 130-mph
winds that inflicted far less dam
age than feared everywhere ex
cept Florida’s Panhandle, where
residents were left with surge-
ravaged beach fronts, flooded
streets and homes ripped apart
by deadly tornadoes.
“We were prepared for the hur
ricane, but the tornadoes were
bam, bam, bam,” said Glenda
Nichols, manager of the Microtel
Inn in Marianna, Fla. “There was
nothing we could do about it. 1 put
all my guests in their rooms and
told them to get in the bathtubs.”
Ivan quickly deteriorated to
a tropical storm after coming
ashore. But forecasters warned it
was not done yet: It threatened up
to 15 inches of rain and flooding
across the South, already soggy
after Hurricanes Charley and
Frances over the past month.
And more danger could be on
the horizon: Tropical Storm Jeanne
is tearing through the Caribbean on
a path that could take it into Florida
early next week as a hurricane.
Ivan spun off at least a dozen tor
nadoes in Florida, while creating a
stomi surge of 10 to 16 feet, topped
by large battering waves. A portion
of a bridge on Interstate 10, the ma
jor east-west highway through the
Panhandle, was washed away.
The death toll included 13 in
Florida, two in Mississippi, and
one in Georgia. In Louisiana,
four evacuees died after being
taken from their storm-threatened
homes to safer parts of the state.
Many of the millions of Gulf
Coast residents who spent a fright
ening night in shelters and boarded-
up homes emerged to find Ivan was
not the catastrophe many feared.
New Orleans, especially vulner
able to stonns because much of it
lies below sea level, got only some
blustery winds, a mere two-tenths
of an inch of rain and only some
downed tree limbs. By Thursday
morning, French Quarter tourists
came out of their hotels to sip cafe
au lait under brilliant sunshine.
“1 know I’m going to hear
from the Monday morning quar
terbacks,” said New Orleans
Mayor Ray Nagin, who had
urged the metropolitan area’s
1.2 million residents to flee three
days ahead of the storm. But he
added: “Look at the scenes from
Mobile and Pensacola — that
could have been us.”
Ivan’s surf pounded Alabama
beach front resorts for hours, leav
ing condominium towers standing
in a lake of floodwaters, at least
one five-story building crumbling
in sand and sending some island
homes into the Gulf of Mexico.
An initial damage assessment in
Gulf Shores found gutted shops,
buckled concrete parking lots, and
beach front roads deep in sand.
“The rain was going sideways.
You could hear metal bending. It
was just bad. It was my first one
and there won’t be a second,”
said Deb Harwich, who rode out
the storm in a motel near Gulf
Shores Beach.
