Rock You Like A Hurricane

This is not the first Hurricane Dennis. In 1999, another Dennis hit the Carolina coast. How do storms get their names? Here is the answer.

Hurricane Dennis has everyone around the Gulf of Mexico nervous. In the days to come, you will hear a lot about storm surge, one of the big concerns in Category 3 hurricane conditions. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a wonderful Web page with animation that explains this danger.

Since three of my readers are in Dennis's path in Louisiana, I'll show a page listing Louisiana's hurricane history.
