Agreed.

I hate to say it but it looks like he's pissed and ain't going to let no one stop him from doing what he wants. Good luck to all up North. I will say a prayer for you guys shortly. After seeing how scary was last year and basically holding on to my family tight in a small room I know what the feeling is like. STAY SAFE Please!

Look at the satellite loop, and rock it back and forth. It almost looks like most of the clouds are topping out really high (almost popping like popcorn). even the feeder bands over the florida peninsula and as far as the Atlantic. This sucker looks to be sucking in everything it can.

Kudos to you Clark! I think this verifies the northward track you and Ed Dunham have been talking about. I was knocked off the net earlier by a squall but thankfully it's restored. Indeed, I noticed the definite northward motion the last hour or so. I would expect due to the rapid deepening it would remain on this track for a while. In your mind, is there any chance of a N-NE movement or will it be north and then perhaps NW as approaches the coast?

Hi all, anyone in Ala on here, my son is on Ala (Enterprise) w/ Grandmother and have tried calling no answer, they had briefly mentioned driving to East Ga today, just curious what the traffic has been up there going East? Hopefully they did not wait around. Thanks in advance for the response.

Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft indicate
that maximum sustained winds are now near 125 mph...with higher
gusts. This makes a category 3 hurricane on the
Saffir-Simpson scale. Additional strengthening is expected...and
Dennis could become a category 4 hurricane before landfall on the
northern Gulf Coast.

I'm in southern Mobile County so I'm not sure what the Enterprise area is like. I do know the news is reporting a steady flow of traffic north.
Just heard winds are up to 125mph.

Dennis's central pressure is around 942 mb and still dropping... he is on the threshold of become a category 4. Winds up to 125 mph. To be blunt, this is not good.

Hi Taz- traffic going east into Ga was very thin today about lunch . We live about .2 mile off hwy 431 in Eufaula and while trip across bridge to Ga wasn't rough- getting into town northbound on 431 was a nightmare. Hopefully they made it just fine and you will hear from them shortly.
