Hey guys, hope any of you in the path of Dennis have escaped the worst. He weakened quite rapidly prior to landfall, which was of course a good thing. The timing of the ERC was just right to benefit anywhere in his path, in that he had weakened and couldnt restrengthen really. Also a good thing was the fact that the highest winds, and those of Hurricane force, were limited to within just 40 to 50 miles of the centre. Still looks like the worst has not yet been felt though. The worst being the likely flooding to come later in the week when Dennis stalls out over the Ohio / Mississippi Valleys. Could really cause a few problems later this week with some pretty major flooding.

The other news of course is our little system out in the central Atlantic. Looks like it will become TD5 within the next 24 hours. Models have been picking up on this in the past day or two. It is a potential headache for the western Caribbean once again.
