Yikes! Can't Mother Nature at least wait until Dennis has made landfall? Reminds me of last year a bit. I lived in Orlando then, we would just get our power back and schools would resume from one hurricane, when the next one was on its way.

Is it a possibility that the remnants of Dennis could help push this area away from the continental US?

Thanks for the map also. I know the forecast will greatly change over the next week, as when the first models on Dennis came out, it appeared he was on a much different path than he actually took.

I guess we have to brace ourselves. It's a long season. No sense in getting worked up about a storm until we have to. I really enjoy tracking the storms... I just wish I could track them from Iowa or Kansas, our somewhere where my own home wasn't in danger.
