Current course

If Dennis stays on it's current course the eye will pass right over me. If so, I'll try and take a couple pictures if I can

I hope that you will be in your safe room during the hurricane. Don't take any stupid chances!

Yeah, I'd probably do the same thing. Hurricanes are like train wrecks. You know you shouldn't look, and you really don't want to, but you just can't help yourself.

Not true recurve. Dennis continues to oscillate in track. If he follows previous trends he'll straighten out of this wobble and head right for Pensacola.

Structure-wise I think Dennis might have met his climatological July limit and perhaps ingested some dry air finally. From his healthy pulses, he had the heart to power up further but is probably being held in check by these factors.


I should have realized a tighter core storm probably isn't pushing as much surge as Ivan...

Power is blinking on and off now. Winds are really starting to crank now. I'll post as long as I can. And thanks for the concern but I.ll stay safe. Got to see that statium effect if I can though

Using GRlevel3 radar program as guidance it seems over the last 1hr 30min Dennis has roughly moved on a 342 degree heading. If it were to pretty much stay on that course it'll pass w/in ten miles just east of Pensacola and around less than 5miles east of Gulf Breeze (were Jim Cantore is stationed right now). I wouldn't recommend going for pics as you be w/in the eye wall and will surely see winds near or just over Cat 3 strength. Stay safe!!!

The final landfall is homing in now. Probably Pensacola Bay. East Bay too with rammed surge.

Santa Rosa Island direct hit. The concrete dome man will probably have the eye pass over...
