Dennis Pounding Cuba
* The 10pm advisory from the National Hurricane Center is out, and here are the latest numbers on the Category 4 powerhouse Dennis:Location: 19.9 N 77.6 W
Wind: 135 mph
Pressure: 950 mb (28.05")
Movement: NW 15
* Our thinking remains unchanged: Dennis will likely make landfall along the northern Gulf Coast, somewhere between New Orleans and Apalachicola, Florida. Places like Mobile, Pensacola, and Panama City Beach are certainly under the gun. If you have a trip planned to those areas, it might be best to cancel. Many locations will probably begin evacuations tomorrow or Saturday.
* Dennis will likely slip a bit in intensity as it interacts with Cuba. But, once the storm emerges back into the Gulf of Mexico, strengthening will likely occur again.
* Bottom line: It is too early to assure you that Dennis will or will not affect our area. But, we must prepare for the potential of a strong hurricane affecting us. The best bet is to continue checking out our Hurricane Dennis Info Desk, website, and television broadcasts each morning at 6 AM and each weekday evening at 5, 6, and 10pm!
