KEEPING AN EYE ON THE TROPICS: Updated Sunday 11:00 P.M.

     Hurricane Dennis made landfall about 2:25 p.m. as a Category II storm with winds between 100 and 105 m.p.h. in Santa Rosa Island between Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach, Florida. Although still packing a serious punch, the storm had decreased in intensity from a Category IV hurricane just hours before slamming into the coast. In an area that was hit by Hurricane Ivan just 10 months ago, it was reported that over one million evacuated along the northern Gulf Coast in anticipation of the storm. While still feeling the effects of the storm, now thousands are without power.
     As of 10:00 p.m., Hurricane Dennis was located near Latitude 32.3 North and Longitude 87.8 West or about 25 miles southeast of Demopolis, Alabama. Now a tropical storm, Dennis is moving north-northwest near 16 m.p.h. and forward speed and intensity is expected to decrease over the next 24 hours.

• All coastal tropical storm watches and warnings have been discontinued.
