Hurricane!

The early damage reports on Hurricane Dennis seem to indicate that damage is less severe than Hurricane Ivan.

I see a lot of reporting this morning about Hurricane Dennis. Some of the stores have the tone that “this storm wasn’t as bad as it could have been,” comparing the 120 MPH Dennis with last year’s stronger Ivan. Dennis came ashore about 50 miles east of the Ivan trike point near Pensacola, and apparently moved through more rural areas, minimizing the damage.
