I have to agree with what is maybe a falacy - that mountainous terrain has a much different effect than flat terrain. The difference is that the eye of Dennis is not crossing mountainous terrain, therefore, he should retain his strenght, for the most part. But if a cane's eye were to pass over mountainous terrain, are not the local Mets here in Orlando correct in saying that this type of terrain has a much greater effect on weakening a cane than does flat terrain?
Moutainous terrain has a much more severe effect on a storm's inflow than does flat terrain. Moutains can also severely disrupt the eye in very intense hurricanes. Limited inflow into a storm's center as well as no energy source=death sentence for a hurricane.
Now I'm back to bed...lol...or wait...maybe i'll wait for the first visible.
