well i hope if you live along the gulf coast you are getting your affairs in order. it's scary that so many new ppl have moved down here and don't have a clue. they think since they made it through arlene they can make it through a cat 3 with no preparation. silly.
I have talked to alot of people FROM here, who think the storm is going to go Pensacola... When Dennis is brought up they say "Well, it will hit the panhandle" I have asked them "How do you know" and the usual answer is "Well, Florida is where the hurricanes have been going lately".. It just floors me how somewhat educated people can be so dumb or have chosen not to educate themselves about hurricanes when they live in a Hurricane prone area. So it is not just the newbies making unwise choices!

annular? What is annular?

basically hte whole storm forms a perfect or almost perfectly circular donut shape and maintains intensity for al ong itme. See Hurricane Ivan and Isabel for examples.
I know, it's truly a furious beast, that Ivan. Just copied my Ivan folder over from a DVD. There's a bunch of these images, NHC track graphics and models. It's almost like we're reliving all this. Fortunately Dennis is nowhere near as intense at this stage, and I really hope it doesn't spin up that bad, thinking of those out there that this might affect.

I would say the theory held up.
