B. Bernard, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel

Extremely dangerous Hurricane Dennis, packing maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (Category 4), is only about 3 or 4 hours away from landfall on the northern Gulf Coast. At noon EDT, Hurricane Dennis' maximum sustained winds remained at 140 mph. Dennis continues to charge toward the north-northwest at 18 mph and seems destined to thunder ashore somewhere close to Pensacola, Fla., by mid- to late afternoon. Destruction of coastal property in the region will be extensive. Water rise is expected to be in the 12- to 18-foot range; by now, all people should have evacuated low-lying areas. Buoys offshore have reported waves as high as 35 feet.
