Hunter, I noticed that also. Was very relieved when I woke up and saw the wind speed but it looks like is intensifying. Very cold cloudtops, and on the west side of the storm. The boards are leaning on the windows outside..if the trend continues I better get them up.

I just wanted to make a comment. I have been coming here and reading what everyone is saying since last year. I have no weather knowledge other than what I see on the tv and here. Thank you to all of you that do have that knowledge. I feel much more comfortable knowing I can check with you and see what everyone is thinking. Oh and as for your comments beserk, did you see what did in Punta Gorda??? Until the last minute that was supposed to be hit us. I am very thankful it didn't but also cautious when watching the "official" weather reports.

Sun City Center, Florida:
I woke up and looked at the radar to see I had about two minutes to get out and pick up my newspaper and have a quick smoke.
I see the storm has weakened, and that is GREAT! Also that we are more than likely out of the line of fire, that is GREAT too!
But, we don't need a direct hit to watch the trees dance crazy and see the rain blow horizontal. We are in for a storm, weak or not, and today will be one to go down in history.
Oooo Weeee! It is coming down out there, and a blowin' too!

7am Advisory:
Quote:
At 7 am EDT...1100z...the eye of Hurricane was located near
latitude 24.1 north...longitude 83.2 west or about 95 miles
west-southwest of Key West Florida.
Dennis is moving toward the northwest near 14 mph and this motion is
expected to continue during the next 24 hours.
A NOAA reconnaissance plane indicates that winds are beginning to
increase again and have reached 105 mph...with higher gusts.
is now a category two hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Some
re-strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours.
Looks like we will once again have a major in just a few hours

I was hoping the eye might blow out over Cuba, but it didn't happen. If shear picks up toward the landfall it will keep it in Check, somewhat like was kept in check from sinking into Category 4 last year.

On a somber note, the death toll from , according to Reuters, now stands at 32 (22 in Haiti, 10 in Cuba). I fear that Haiti total may rise substantially.

Looking at the water vapor GOM loop, the upper level trough over Texas is digging southward and moving eastward. Whether that will have any significant influence on is the question now. Could force a more northerly turn later today or tomorrow. Heads up, folks in the panhandle.

All the models have come into agreement with only about a 80 difference on landfall, and all having the same track...unfortunate for me. But what an OUTSTANDING job by the . We were worried about Cindy when the first tracks were coming out for and they have never changed. The panhandle is better prepared for this storm than any in history. SUPER, SUPER, SUPER job.

Yes, unfortunately for you and a lot of our forum friends in your area, the *has* done a great job with this storm. God knows, they've had plenty of practice between last year and a busy start this year. Practice makes perfect, they say. I want to wish you and anyone affected by this storm, the best of luck and for you to be safe and suffer no harm.

Mike, You're obviously right, but I'm surprised that Avila's 5 AM discussion isn't verifying. With the expansion of the wind field (the skater's arms are extended...), it would seem to be difficult for to get it's act back together.
Are there any examples of previous 'canes crossing Cuba (especially the long routes), and what happened after they emerged into the GOM?

ok im now convinced i guess! for days i was saying it wasnt going too the panhandle but its not hitting us so im good, just a little breezy. but for the future does it look like floirida is sticking out like a sore thumb? and waht bout jersey or virginia does it look like they will have warm enough waters? it just looks too me that we are in a very bad pattern this year and maybe make history for the most storms in florida.

I'd be happy if the season simply shut down for the rest of this year.

I hear that it will track in a more northerly direction, not threatening the Caribbean.
