Dennis will be on land soon.
At 1:40 pm, he was getting close to the border ofAlabama and Florida between Pensacola and Orange Beach. The north edge of the eyewall could be on the beach not later than 2:30.

Check these reports:

Pensacola...heavy rain, wind NE 33, gusts 55 mph
Valparasio...heavy rain, wind east 36, gusts 56
Destin...rain, wind east 45, gusts 66
Panama City...rain, wind gusts 45
Tallahassee...light rain, wind SE 30, gusts 43

A Tornado Watch now covers the south 2/3 ofAlabama including the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area.

Important: The NHC warns that Dennis may spread hurricane force winds as far as 175 miles inland.

Someone please tell James, everytime you see that flash it's not always transformers blowing up. It's called powerlines going 'phase to phase'. It's when two different powerlines touch together and it puts off a very bright flash. Transformer dont blow as much as people like to think. It's the lines slapping together or breaking in half. And it's called power poles not telephone poles! Hehe sorry for my rant, and let's pray for the ones in Pensacola and the rest of us now.

Is it true that it hit as a three and does that mean it will still be as bad as Ivan in central Al now?
