Dean should be north of Allen following the Yucatan I believe.

Ah yes, Hurricane Allen was a bad one in 1980 for Texas/Mexico.

Historical map for Allen (1980):

Allen went through the Antilles a bit further south and was a bit stronger at the time, but then jogged to the right and went just north of Jamaica.

I was living in Houston at the time. Thank God that monster veered a bit left at the last minute and stalled out for a short while, weakened, and then went inland over the King Ranch.

Interesting map from Jeff Master's tropical weather blog at Wunderground, from a few days ago:

Shows the heat potential for hurricane development in the waters of the Caribbean and Gulf - 2005 compared to 2007. The waters in the western Caribbean have a very high heat content.
