Re: Indecisive Dennis

A few notes from Atlanta......

1) To the person bringing his family to Orlando, you should be in good shape on I-95 through Georgia, BUT, pay attention to all the road signs and also make a list of the local radio stations along your route to keep up with any changes in direction of Dennis. Routes to MCO to be avoided this weekend would be I-75(as that may be reversed to all northbound when you get ot Cordele) Best bet is to pay attention to the radio and any forecasts later on.

2) If you look at the state of Georgia about 80% of the counties are under a flood watch from Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon. If Atlanta gets any significant rain from Dennis it could be pretty bad here, especially on the south side of the metro where the average fron Cindy was 4-6" rainfall.

3)GDOT has suspended construction again this weekend through most of the state acccording to 11Alive.com due to possibility of using the roads leading out of Florida into Atlanta as an evacuation route....

4) Was looking at the maps of GA and notice that the front that steered Cindy over us is kinda washing out over central GA, would that have any affect on the track of Dennis?

First bands of clouds from the outflow of Dennis should be reaching us by this afternoon with precip forecast to start falling by late tonight....Take care everyone along the gulf coast!
