| | Hurricane Ivan Details, Meaning Hurricane Ivan Article and Explanation Guide |
 | | It was a Cape Verde-type hurricane that reached Category 5 strength at its peak, and early in its path reached unprecedented intensity at low latitudes—Category 4 at only 10.6° N. After briefly being downgraded to Category 3 intensity, Ivan struck Grenada directly on mid-day September 7 with Category 3 winds. |
 | | The depression strengthened gradually to tropical storm status about 610 miles (980 km) southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, moving west-northwesterly at around 16 mph (25 km/h), and was given the name Ivan on September 3. |
 | | Nevertheless, on the morning of September 21, some of its remnants combined with a low-pressure system to pelt Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia, Canada with hurricane-force winds, flooding some roads, felling trees, and leaving thousands without power. |
