Hurricane Dennis hits US coast
Hurricane Dennis roared quickly through the coastal areas of Alabama and north-western Florida with a 120 mph bluster of blinding squalls and crashing waves, but shellshocked residents emerged to find far less damage than when Ivan took nearly the same path 10 months ago.
The tightly wound Dennis, which had earlier been a Category 4, 145 mph monster as it marched up the Gulf of Mexico, weakened just before it struck yesterday less than 50 miles east of Ivan’s landfall.
