HURRICANE DEAN - Final Recap August 23, 2007
Hurricane Dean was a record setter. It was one of the fastest-ever forward moving hurricanes that achieved major hurricane status and it was one of only a few hurricanes in recorded history that made landfall as a Category 5 storm.
This deadly storm was responsible for over a dozen deaths in 4 countries and that toll is expected to climb as searchers get into additional remote locations.
The remnants of Dean are dissipating in the mountains of east central Mexico. Flooding has taken place in that region and authorities are dealing with the aftermath.
This is our final message concerning Hurricane Dean. We are watching two low pressure waves in the Atlantic and Caribbean and will post information if necessary as things develop.
