Fundamentals still look strong upon Cuban departure

Even though the eye has filled, the storm itself is still circular and compact as it prepares to depart Cuba, Havana seem to have taken an almost direct hit :( With out shear it looks like re intensification may happen quickly

Dennis is looking very confident as he prepares for the next leg of his journey NW.

Not only that but it looks on the short range base loop out of Key West that the western core of the circulation is slowly moving right across the city just as the storm is beginning to re-feed off the waters... it looks like it is going to intensify right over the city before it moves off to the wnw...

DO NOT underestimate the intensity and structure of Dennis. This has always been an extremely well developed and organized storm and considering howl ong it has been over Cuba and the fewm ountains it has even crossed, the structure remains stable. Dennis has merely lost a lot of momentum from its fuel source being diminished, but it hasnt lost the core engine which powers it. In other words its like an engine low on fuel, not an engine with malfunctioning parts. Fill the hurricane with fuel, as it will be shortly, and that engine is oging to fire back to life with amazing speed.
