After relentlessly hearing tornado warnings over the radio and seeing the storm escape into difficult chase territory in Faurquier County, they called the chase and went back home. During their journey back home, they were treated to a lightning show that lit up the sky.
Ivan brought a total of 117 tornadoes* during its time over land: 37 in Virginia, 25 in Georgia, 18 in Florida, 9 in Pennsylvania, 8 in Alabama, 7 in South Carolina, 6 in Maryland, 4 in North Carolina, and 3 in West Virginia. Ivan looped around, crossing the southeast side of the Florida peninsula as an extratropical cyclone, then reforming in the Gulf and making landfall in extreme southwestern Louisiana as a tropical depression. Ivan existed for 22.5 days and traveled over 6,000 miles.
*Note: Per the Tornado Project, there were 120 tornadoes associated with Hurricane Ivan.
