This is one to tell the grandchildren about. I've been here 32 years at the National Hurricane Center, and we've never had this much activity near land ever before.

Last year, I said this is going to be a season to tell our grandchildren about, but this one was worse.

Even a Category 2 or a Category 1 hurricane hitting the Florida Keys or the southwest coast of Florida can have big consequences there.

The hurricane does have some national impact.

I miss my dad, yes. But I try to honor his memory, as well as all the victims of Hurricane Katrina, through the love I have for all humanity, a love I try to express through my music.

What happened with Ivan was almost unheard of.
