Rantings of a Space Cadet: Cat 4! Cat 4!

Dennis is a category 4 hurricane, though the central pressure suggests it may not strengthen much further.

SpakKadi said...: Here's a damage potential list by category. If you look at it, Isabel actually gave Virginia something akin to Category 3 storm damage because the ground was already so wet when it hit.

Five are already dead in Haiti. Cuba generally has a pretty good hurricane preparedness plan, so hopefully they won't have too many problems (though they are being skimmed by this one, which means more damage over a large area than Ivan last year). The keys are being evacuated of tourists and the residents will be asked to leave soon. Hopefully, after last year, everyone knows to take this seriously. Even if Dennis weakens over Cuba, it will be a nasty one.; 7/08/2005 9:25 AM
