Felix Making Landfall

Felix is making landfall as I type this in northern Nicaragua as a Category 5 hurricane. To my knowledge, this is the first time in recorded history that two Category 5 hurricane's have made landfall in the same season in the Atlantic Basin.

Felix deepened significantly overnight, and this is a horrible situation for the folks in northern Nicaragua. Thoughts and prayers are with them.

And, it sure looks like our little low pressure off of the Southeast coast will try to develop into a tropical system. Almost all computer modeling is now showing the system developing and strengthening. Some modeling takes the system to New England, some to the Outer Banks, and some down to Florida. Stay tuned....
