Dennis Update: Thankfully, Dennis is only a depression now, but it is forecast to slow down over the Ohio and Tennessee valleys for a few days, bringing the continued threat of flooding. Dennis was 10 mph weaker than Hurricane Ivan at landfall, and moved out of the area much faster. The Tropical Prediction Center did a great job of forecasting Dennis’ track.
