how would our met's rate the size of Dean so far?

It appears to me to be spending energy getting larger in convective area...and therefore more dangerous. There was talk initially that it was a small cyclone...don't think so now.

I heard a newsman say that the part of the caribbean Dean-0 is headed to is the warmest waters on the planet...as far as oceanic deep heat content. Well, I don't know about that...but perhaps that's the point Dean explodes to it's full potential.

I wouldn't call the GOM bathtub anything but MORE fuel for the fire...
