040909-N-0000X-003 Mid-Atlantic Ocean (Sept. 9, 2004) Ð Satellite image taken from the GOES-12 satellite of Hurricane Ivan at approximately 0815 EST. Ivan, an extremely dangerous category five hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale has maximum sustained winds near 160 mph with higher gusts. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 60 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 160 miles. The well-defined eye of hurricane Ivan was located about 455 miles southeast of Kingston Jamaica. Storm surge flooding of three to five feet above normal tide levels along with large and dangerous battering waves can be expected near the center of Ivan in the hurricane warning area. Rainfall amounts of five to seven inches and could possibly cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides. Hurricane Ivan has killed at least 15 people in Grenada, Tobago and Venezuela as it barrels toward Jamaica.
