It has been measured as one of the top 10 Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded and definitely the strongest of 2007. The damage across the Caribbean and the Yucatan is already being to be estimated in the hundreds of millions dollars.

At least 20 people died in three states, with six deaths in Minnesota alone. In Texas, eight deaths were blamed on the storm, and authorities were scrambling to recover before Hurricane Dean&#8217;s heavy rain drenches the state.
