It looks like it has intenstified rapidly and should turn tonight. If it does not turn overnight then the track shifts more west towards Little Rock AR.
One good news is this storm will break our drought and burn bans here in Arkansas.
Biloxi Miss to Hattesburg Ms and up to Memphis TN is under the gun the rest of weekend.
My prayers for a safe passage thru the storm to all affected.
Dennis now Category 4. 135 mph winds. Intensifying. Several RRs in its path. Looks ugly for lines in AL and MS, possibly TN as well. Flooding likely…
LC
Agreed. The Center stated that it could increase to about 145 later this evening.
Prayers are with those who has to ride it out. I ridden out many a storm in my day.
God bless those along the Gulf Coast.
I’m inland in Birmingham, but the threat of multiple tornadoes ,straight line vinds, and severe flooding is very real.

Do you not think that people in the possible affected area are not aware of what they have to do when a hurricane with 145MPH winds & a storrm surge of maybe 20 feet is aiming right at them then it becomes a oh well situation. [:o)][8D][:I]

I wonder what it will do when it hits the Great Lakes region. Usually it just gives us a wack load of rain but this storm seems to be stubborn so it might hit us as a tropical depression.
Ya know I do like eveyone else in here I wonder if hurricane Dennis is going to hit good old Penn’s Woods hard?? I honestly don’t think Dennis is going to hit PA too hard. The only thing we’re most likely to get is some flash floods on the following rivers Schuylkill, Susquehanna, Delaware, and last but not least Lehigh. I expect the Lehigh and Susquehanna to do the most damage in terms of flooding. Um…lets see what else…Oh eveyone in the Philadelphia area will end up purchasing all the spring water from all of the supermarkets, stupid. While eveyone is in doors I’ll be outside by the river or the creeks and checking out the cool rapids and flooding waters. When hurricanes come through PA they normaly aren’t that bad. Just look at hurricane Floyd and Irine. Everyone went crazy for that one and nothing happend.
Was just listening to weather radio and heard about Dennis now being at 140 mph max. winds…hope all ends up well down in the Gulf area. Please feel free to send “some” of the rain up here into the N. IL area as we are parched…BUT NOT ALL AT ONCE PLEASE.
I heard that Pensicola, Florida will likely bear the brunt of it with 20cm of rain or about 5 inches.
Ya you are all right. Once the eye does come on shore Flooding is gona be major problem because the storm is saposed to realy slow down. Allan.
At least the hurricane did weaken some before landfall. At 2:25 PM, as the center of the storm was making landfall, the National Hurricane Center reported that maximum sustained winds were 115 to 120 mph. Heavy rain/flooding still looks like a big threat though.
UPDATE----According to Leigh Ann Ryles, Emergency Management Director in Baldwin County Alabama " WE DODGED A BULLET " Lets just hope that there is not a second bullet in Dennis. Stay Safe Folks
Well …
Tropical Depression 5 formed this AM some distance out on the atlantic. If it becomes a storm (which it is forcast to do later today) it will be “Emily”
According to the Hurricane Center it looks like a track thru the carribean, up Cuba’s east side and East Coast USA.
HEre we go again folks.
I hope it doesnt it us up here. Its been really sunny the last few days. 100 degree’s in fact.
(oh, and things not looking good for parts of BNSF,NS, and CSX lines)
God Bless Everyone Affected By the Storm
