Hurricane Ivan (search) slammed into Alabama's coastline early this morning, but the worst may be yet to come. With 130 mph winds expected to lash the South and 15 inches of rain and surges up to 16 feet, locals may be in for a bumpy ride. Ivan is already blamed for killing 12; could more fatalities be on the way?

• FNC Correspondent Jonathan Serrie (search) will join us live with Michael Dowd (search), mayor of one the cities hardest hit by Ivan's fury, Mobile, Ala. and Sheriff Jack Tillman.

• Foxcaster Janice Dean, the weather machine, will keep us updated on Ivan's status at it continues to blast the Southland.

• FNC Correspondent Jeff Goldblatt will report on Ivan's swath of destruction from Panama City, Fla.

Has global warming caused this nasty string of hurricanes? A panel of scientist told Congress this week that it was, but not everyone is convinced. Climatologist Pat Michaels joins us to explain why he thinks there's no evidence to relate the two.

Those stories and the latest editions of Only on Fox and Stupid Criminals on today's edition of "DaySide with Linda Vester."
