Late Sunday Breaking News

This is just downright amazing what you are about to read. In the last post I made, there was no named tropical systems in the Atlantic. And guess what? Now we have a Category 5 Hurricane in the Caribbean! That's right...Saturday morning, the area of disturbed weather in the Caribbean became Tropical Storm Felix, and one day later, we have a Category 5 storm. In fact, the storm today, Sunday, went from a Category 1 storm to a Category 5 storm in less than 24 hrs. Simply amazing. You won't see any type of storm intensify quicker than what this storm did today. "Wow" doesn't even emphasize the incredible magnitude of this storm. Here are some pictures now.
This is a mighty impressive storm I must say. It even makes Dean look like a wimp...not that it was, but this storm has the potential to be absolutely massive. I wouldn't be surprised if it winds up being as big as Katrina was. The good news is that it, once again, doesn't appear to be headed for the United States.

Another photo from the Caribbean. There is another invest not too far behind this one, but the water should be churned up, so how strong it becomes, IF it becomes a named storm, is up in the air.
