Here is the link. All the points in red are the active radars. Pico San Juan is the one that is the closest to Dennis.

Dennis went over an area that isn't very mountanous compared to just a few miles to the east, thereafter, moving at fifteen miles per hour, and just a few hours over land, no major damage can be expacted to Dennis' structure.

Ok, what's the brown thing in the middle of the island, central Cuba? Is that a mountain of some kind, and if so, how high is it? If the storm hits that head on, I imagine we could see more weakening than expected.

Looks like NW to me.... maybe slightly south of NW (310).

That's an approximately 2,800' mountain right on the coast.

Edit: That's where they have the radar...

The eye now appears to have just moved off the coast.

That radar looks to be within the last 20 minutes...which is great..unlike that damn Aruban radar.

Eye and eyewall looks fine.

Do not see concentric eyewalls right now.

Thanks - awesome radar

Looks like a definite wnw track - lasting pretty long to be considered a wobble.
