Re: Polk County,FL links

If anyone with knowledge is still awake out there I have a couple of questions: What is the topology of the cross section of cuba that Dennis is likely to transverse; and what information do we have about how such crossings effect the intensity of cyclones. I know land weakens a hurricane period, but how do the models take into account various factors such as mountains vs. flat plains etc.?
