Florida braces as Ivan shifts away from Keys
Florida residents batten down as Ivan veers from the Keys and South Florida, with Monroe County lifting evacuations for about 79 000 residents. The hurricane center placed warnings for western Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula as Ivan, near 160 mph winds, heads northwest. Shell Oil plans evacuations from eastern Gulf platforms by day’s end, while federal aid readiness remains in place. Tourism losses in the Keys could reach 16 to 20 million dollars this week, offset by prior Charley fallout.
