It was by this point that the projected path shifted to the west, and Dennis was expected to plow into Mobile bay with 140mph winds, turns out the original track taking it near Pensacola was the correct one.

Just found this today. Sorry for the late post and reviving an older thread. This is a photojournalist who chased dennis and posted videos. I am not inclined to view them since I lived through it. But for those of you who are bored and need something to do, you might find this interesting.

1 year ago this evening, my family and I were in Montgomery, Alabama, with friends, waiting for Dennis and watching WKRG live via internet...It soon became apparent that Dauphin Island was going to be fine...Our homes were totally unscathed...We had dodged "the big one"...or at least we thought...little did we know what the coming months had in store for our tiny community...

Well this time last year the generator was going, the walmart window unit was in place with a mattress on the floor trying to stay cool and my 2 acres was flooded and another 20 or so trees were down.The roof was in bad shape and part of the chimney was in the yard. No power for the next several days. The big lesson I learned was Sept canes are better than July canes cause july is @#$ hot!!! For the week or so after Dennis our heat index was 105-110 each day..absolutely miserable. Santa Rosa county was an absolute mess. Although it was quite a blow Katrina and Rita soon followed and made alot of us realize that despite home damage, yard and tree damage, etc....it can be much worse

No kidding!During Ivan we had a few cold fronts pass through so it wasn't that bad,but with Dennis it was terrible.Even with all the fans we had set up inside it was a struggle to keep the house cool.
Santa Rosa did get torn up.I drove through the area a day or so after the storm and it was amazing how there was minimal damage in Pensacola but once you crossed the hwy 90 bridge to Pace and Milton it was like Ivan all over again.My parents live in Milton and their roof was blown off,fortunately they weren't home though.

Opal Storm,
I went to Pace to help my sister move the rest of her stuff out of her house after Dennis. They didn't have power at the time and it was miserable. We all drove back to Fairhope and they stayed here until the power was restored. My sister took me through the area and it was bad. Buildings were either missing part or all of the roofs. Homes were missing part of the roof or the whole thing.

Watching the television nonstop!
Boarding up the house for the unthinkable. At this time we thought Dennis was coming directly toward us.
Sunset at the beach two days before Dennis hit FL. We were securing the condos down at Orange Beach.
Riding out the storm in Daphne where husband works. Yes that is my child on the porch. She is safe. She was so interested in the weather. I thought it would scare her but she was too interested in it.
And the big protector. Looks like he is really protecting the house. LOL He did go with us. Of course I just had to throw this pic in. I don't think it was taken during Dennis.
