US-HURRICANE DENNIS-SATELLITE IMAGE
This computer-generated satellite image released by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 10 July 2005 shows Hurricane Dennis as it slammed ashore on the US Gulf coast. The powerful storm uprooted trees and downed power lines as it made landfall at 2:25 pm (1925 GMT) just outside Pensacola, Florida, the city worst hit by Hurricane Ivan, one of four storms that pounded the southeastern US state last year. Dennis sent signposts, tree limbs and roof tiles flying and large waves crashing ashore as its eyewall entered land, threatening structures weakened by Ivan 10 months ago. It lost a little steam in the Gulf of Mexico just before crashing ashore but remained a powerful category three hurricane on a scale that goes up to five, packing winds of up to 192 kilometers (120 miles) per hour. The year-s first Atlantic hurricane, Dennis killed at least 16 people in the Caribbean and one person in southern Florida before pounding the US Gulf shores. AFP PHOTO/NOAA/HO GETTY OUT
