Hurricane Dennis slams Cuba, heads for Florida

Hurricane Dennis hit Cuba today with 150 mph winds, making it a dangerous Category 4 storm. An estimated 85% of powerlines are down on the island.

At least 5 people were killed Thursday in Haiti and Jamaica by the storm.

Most of the Florida Keys have been evacuated, with Dennis expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico and head toward the Florida Panhandle. At this hour, it looks like most of the west coast of Florida will be spared the brunt of the storm.
