A storm of this size is a threat not just because of its powerful winds: Dennis is expected to produce heavy rain and coastal and inland flooding. Five to ten inches of rain may fall over Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands, with as much as 15 inches falling in parts of Jamaica. Heavy rainfall can trigger flash floods and mudslides in mountainous regions. The storm will probably also raise tide levels by five to seven feet and generate large and dangerous waves.
Dennis is expected to strengthen as it moves north towards the Gulf Coast of the United States. For official storm warnings and additional information, please visit the National Hurricane Center.
Les cyclones présentent une grande menace dans la zone caraibe non seulement à cause des vents violents, des grandes vagues qu'ils provoquent et des ondes de tempête; mais aussi des pluies diluviennes qui s'abbattent sur leur sillage (plus de 350 mm pour Dennis), et qui entrainent des crues brutales et des coulées de boue.
