Quote: Was this huge drop in pressure and increase in winds expected?
Yes and no. Dennis was expected to keep strengthening until he hit Cuba, but this is probably stronger than most ventured to guess. Cuba will weaken Dennis, as I'm pretty sure he'll hit some mountains, but he'll be able to crank back up again once he gets out the other side. We're looking at Dennis probably hanging around Cat 3 or 4 status through his Gulf trip. Coupled with his large size, this is very bad news indeed.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
