Well it looks like for the most part, the South East dodged a big bullet. Hurricane Dennis, although packing a load of rain and wind only came in at a Category 3 hurricane, even though it was projected to come in at a Cat 4.

Don’t get me wrong, that’s still a brutal storm and did a ton of damage I’m sure, but clearly not in the Ivan or Andrew range for destruction… Well, that’s easy to say unless it’s your house or car that got destroyed.

I feel ok in commenting on that as I personally lost a car and a other personal items as a result of Hurricane Andrew. I was stationed at Homestead AFB at the time and was newly married and living downtown. The wife and I were home on leave at the time so we couldn’t get any of our things out or evacuate. We were supposed to fly back the day everyone was evacuating. I must say it was a memorable first few months of marriage.

Ok, so getting back on topic here. I was trying to find a decent cam of Hurricane Dennis the other day, but the only one I saw was shaky and covered with rain and you really couldn’t see anything so I opted to post a link to the awesome satellite photos of Hurricane Dennis provided by the awesome crew over at NASA.

Here's a screen cap of one of their photos of Hurricane Dennis:

Well that’s all for now…
