| Hurricane Dennis | |
| The Season's First Hurricane | |
| Within a few days of Cindy forming, Dennis formed in the Caribbean. It was expected to grow to Hurricane strength by Thursday, the 6th, turn NNW, and threaten the US Gulf Coast. |

| July 6th saw Dennis grow to Hurricane Strength, quickly becoming a Category 2 storm... |
|
 |
|
| By the morning of July 7th, Dennis was a Category 4, on the brink of Category 5... |

These pictures were from the 8th of July... Florida braces for Dennis'
impact...
The picture of the wave was taken at Guantanamo... Cuba really gave Dennis a tough time... it went from the edge of a Category 5 to a Category 1... but once it passed through and into the Gulf, it quickly spun back up, and by Saturday afternoon, it was back up to 115 mph/Category 3, and rapidly strengthening. |

Dennis Spent Saturday the 9th gathering strength after crossing over Cuba.
By 5:30 PM Eastern, it was back up to a category 3, and had regains its
orgainization, and it was strengthening. Dennis was predicted to come ashore Sunday afternoon... |

|
Sunday, at 3pm EDT, almost on Cue, Dennis came ashore...
| |
 |
|
| It was VERY impressive when it came ashore... 135 mph winds at 1PM, and it was still building. |

|
On Monday, Dennis degraded fast, and soon was a Tropical Depression, and was
winding down over Tennessee, dumping upwards of 12 inches of rain. Overall, it wasn't as bad as folks were expecting, thankfully. |
|
|
Dennis hung around for a couple of days... dropping rain and wind on the midwest before fading out to the North East... RIGHT AS I WAS HEADING TO NEW ENGLAND, AND FENWAY PARK!!!
