Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft indicate
that maximum sustained winds are now near 125 mph...with higher
gusts. This makes Dennis a category 3 hurricane on the
Saffir-Simpson scale. Additional strengthening is expected...and
Dennis could become a category 4 hurricane before landfall on the
northern Gulf Coast.
