Hurricane Felix
 

This little baby is moving exactly across the Yucatan, which will wind up shutting down a MASSIVE amount of Mexico's oil production fields and distribution lines. 165mph and climbing, forecast to roll in there at full 5 strength.

On top of that, it could very easily swing up toward Texas, giving that place another little shot of water (it's already had two). And right now, it's forecast to gain strength across the Gulf. This one is going to rattle the market a bit. Everybody fill up your gas tanks by Wednesday afternoon.

glad i don't live down there.

Sometimes during our long autumn-winter-spring period I dream of living by the ocean-side but looking at this.... I start to love our God-Blessed climate :) Indeed - the things we call "hurricane" or "storm" are just light wispers of the wind comparing to real storms and hurricanes down there. The only "tornado" that ever happend in Moscow as my grandmother can remember has only draught some fishes from the Moscow-river and threw it on the roofs :)
