Felix and Dean...

"This year marks the first time in recorded history that two Category 5 storms (Felix and Dean) have made landfall in the Atlantic basin in the same year. Since reliable record keeping began in 1944, there have been 27 Category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic. Eight of these have occurred in the past five years." - WeatherUnderground.com

Interesting times, indeed.

Am now waiting for late September/Early October when the Cape Verde style hurricanes form as they are more likely to curve off north and eventually east before turning up as depressions on our shores. remember Gordon from last year?

I think it gave us some good surf, didn't it? :)
