Made tropical storm status this am. Some of the computer tracks are trending north in the last few runs. We'll have to keep a watch on this one as there could be some changes in about 4-5 days that could bring him into the GOM in a more northerly direction.

3. Felix the Cat 5

This is a beast of a storm. Beautiful, but very dangerous. The recon team had to get out of there and abort the flight. Lightning, ice and turbulence in there. It's still intensifying.
