At 11:00 advisory Dean may very well be very near to hurricane strength. Navy has winds up to 60 mph. (50 knts), this storm is so small in size but wow when you look at the visible, looks liek a minimal hurricane already! With such a small scale storm really gets me thinking about it's potential. The smaller the storm, greater will be the impact, think about Charley in 2004, was a small category 4, done a big amount of damage. Andrew was another one, best example actually, very small category 5 storm, brought the worst damage until Katrina came on board. So really think about Deans potential, I believe a category 5 hurricane is possible in a couple of days, especially as it heads in the GOM
