Dennis

Hurricane Dennis, a category 4 storm, is about 3.5 hours away from plowing into the gulf coast, somewhere near the Florida/Alamaba border. Winds are currently 140 MPH. A couple of days ago Dennis was nearing a category 5 and was the most powerful storm ever recorded this early in the season. It's following the path of last year's Ivan, but is even more powerful. No category 4 storm has ever hit the Florida panhandle or Alabama, and no category 4 has hit the U.S. this early in the season since Audrey struck Lousiana and Texas in 1957.
