He might be weakening / leveling off. His CDO is looking ragged, might be an ERC.

If so, this is coming at a bad time. If it could have waited 5 to 8 hours.Now this thing has plenty of time to complete its ERC and quickly restrengthen. It would be awhile before another ERC hits if at all, and it will be inland by then...

...Extremely dangerous Hurricane Dennis with 145 mph winds...

a Hurricane Warning remains in effect for portions of the northern
and northeastern Gulf Coast from the Steinhatchee river westward to
the mouth of the Pearl River.

A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect along the Florida West
Coast from east of the Steinhatchee river southward to Bonita
Beach...and for the lower Florida Keys west of Seven Mile Bridge. A
Tropical Storm Warning is also in effect for the southeastern
Louisiana coast west of the mouth of the Pearl River to Grand
Isle...including metropolitan New Orleans and Lake Ponchartrain.

A hurricane or Tropical Storm Warning means that hurricane or
tropical storm conditions...respectively...are expected within the
warning area within the next 24 hours. Preparations to protect life
and property should be rushed to completion in the Hurricane
Warning area.

For storm information specific to your area...including possible
inland watches and warnings...please monitor products issued
by your local weather office.

At 2 am CDT...0700z...the center of Hurricane Dennis was located
near latitude 27.4 north...longitude 85.9 west or about 195 miles
south of Panama City Florida and about 275 miles southeast of
Biloxi Mississippi.

Dennis is moving toward the northwest near 14 mph. A gradual turn
toward the north-northwest is expected today. This motion will
bring the center of Dennis across the northern Gulf Coast later
today.

Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft indicate
that maximum sustained winds are now near 145 mph...with
higher gusts. Dennis is a category four hurricane on the
Saffir-Simpson scale. Some fluctuations in strength are likely
before landfall.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 40 miles from the
center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 230
miles. Hurricane force winds associated with Dennis may occur as
far as 150 to 175 miles inland along the track of the hurricane.

An Air Force hurricane hunter plane recently reported a minimum
central pressure of 934 mb...27.58 inches.

Storm surge flooding of 14 to 17 feet above normal tide levels...
accompanied by large and dangerous battering waves...is possible
near and to the east of where the center of Dennis crosses the
northern Gulf Coast on Sunday. A storm surge of 2 to 4 feet
is possible along the southwestern coast of Florida this morning.

Dennis is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 5 to 8
inches from the Florida Panhandle...southern Alabama...and southern
Mississippi northwestward into northern Mississippi...with isolated
maximum amounts of 12 inches possible near where Dennis makes
landfall on the Gulf Coast. Additional rainfall accumulations of 2
to 4 inches are possible over the Florida West Coast...with 1 to 3
inches possible over the remainder of the Florida Peninsula.
Isolated tornadoes will be possible this morning over portions of
north-central and northern Florida...and the Florida Panhandle.

Repeating the 2 am CDT position...27.4 N... 85.9 W. Movement
toward...northwest near 14 mph. Maximum sustained winds...140 mph.
Minimum central pressure... 934 mb.
The next advisory will be issued by the National Hurricane Center at
4 am CDT.

Argh! Death by dial-up. :( I am trying to watch and learn, but dang - this won't do! Word to any other lost souls in Dial-Up Heck - just cut out some of those daily snack runs or lunches out at restaurants, and the beauty and wonder of High-Speed can be yours! 8-) - I've wandered the wilderness long enough. Soon I hope to surf and lurk with the best of 'em!

Quick one: Have they ever tried to have a submarine surface inside of an eye to gather data? Seems like with GPS and all, that a sub could even run on the surface and release balloons, etc - maybe even some sort of flying drones (?).
