Dennis Makes Landfall In Florida

Dennis Makes Landfall
Hurricane Dennis has made landfall on Santa Rosa Island between Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach, Florida. The local news reported sustained winds of 120 mph, which means Dennis was a category three 'cane as it came ashore. Our thoughts and hopes are with the people in Dennis' path right now. More info...

On the peninsula, the worst is over. It's hot again. The sun peeks out every now and then. The wind still howls faintly, but the storm has mostly passed.

For news on how the Tampa Bay area fared Bay News 9 has some decent coverage.

Feel compelled to help? Try the Red Cross National Disaster Relief Fund. It's tax deductible.

But wait, there's more...
