There were three hurricanes called Dennis before the name was retired. In 1981, the first one was a Category 1 storm that took almost 2 weeks to become a full-fledged hurricane. It remained a hurricane for only three days, landing in the Caribbean, Florida and paralleling the East Coast to Virginia. It caused little damage and no fatalities. The second Dennis made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a tropical storm in August, 1999. It had been a very slowly moving Category 2 hurricane previously. Watches and warnings went up which were downgraded and upgraded in the Bahamas 24 - 28 August. A tropical storm warning was issued for the East Coast of Florida 27 August but cancelled the same day as the storm made a turn towards the north. Dennis caused severe flooding in North Carolina, and when Hurricane Floyd hit the state two weeks later with even more rain, the flooding was catastrophic. The most severe Hurricane Dennis was a Category 4 storm, part of the extraordinarily active, and deadly 2005 season. It formed very early in the season, on 4 July. After becoming a tropical storm, Dennis strengthened with alarming speed into a Category 4 hurricane. It was at this intensity that Dennis struck Cuba, twice. After weakening substantially, Dennis reorganized itself and hit the Florida Panhandle as a Category 3 storm. Residents of the Gulf Coast prepared for a major storm, but Dennis did as such storms sometimes do, and weakened offshore. Consequently, damage to coastal towns in the Florida Panhandle, Alabama and Mississippi was less extensive than expected. Louisiana, which was originally predicted as the place where Dennis would strike, was virtually unscathed. Property losses for Hurricane Dennis reached approximately $4 billion. Dennis caused approximately 150 deaths, with causes almost equally divided between direct and indirect. Apart from the fatalities, the storm's damage to the US Gulf Coast and in the Caribbean, including many crops and over 40" of rain over parts of Cuba, led to the retirement of the name Dennis at the end of the 2005 season.
