it shows Dennis going over the western part of cuba. If it does not change course wouldn't it be closer to central cuba?

I was just looking at historical tracks across Havanaa area westward in Cuba to see what storm paths most often occurred. It is my very unprofessional observation that *historically* canes that passed to the western part of cuba usually made US landfall Mobile westward. *DISCLAIMER* - this is VERY unofficial and just a quick look of storm tracks from 1965 - present.

I agree with whoever posted that they will be more comfortable with the path of Dennis once it enters the GOM.

It's moving NW which means it'll clip that tip of Cuba that sticks around Cabo Cruz then parallel the coast and batter the southern coast early in the morning before crossing land during the day tomorrow.

Well it appears it won't be crossing the western tip of Cuba.More like the west half of Cuba...Don't know what this means in historical patterns.
