It looks as though the arms of this storm are very big. I was looking at the pictures with my fiancee and he says that the strength that Dean has defies all odds. He thinks that Dean has strenghtened over the past few days immensly because of the span of the Arms is very large. He thinks that it is a possibility that this storm is going to weaken and then gain strength again because of the warm waters. He also thinks that Florida should atleast prepare for the aftermath, because he said that he remembers Floyd when the armbands hit them, they got severe thunderstorms. We are getting some storms, whether this is occuring because of Dean or not, we dont know.
