Yes, Gilbert was a Cat 5--that crossed the Yucatan Peninsula back in 1988.

WOW !!!
Have the Mexican Gov't issued any Storm Surge warnings for the outer eastern islands yet ?
Emily is @ 700 miles from Cozumel(Mexico), and his Hurricane might be a Cat-5 within hours.

I just order the book about the 1900 Galvaston storm, Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson. I think it will be good reading for next week as Emily enters the GOM.

Isaac's Storm is a fantastic book. I've read it twice. Once when it first came out in 2000, and then I recently re-read it. You just cannot even fathom the horror those people experienced during that storm. Chilling.

A family friend and her new husband were honeymooning in Cancun when Gilbert hit.

They said the experience was very scary.

If you haven't read it yet--Hunting Hugo is a hair raising first person short story about the Hurricane Hunters.

looks to be wobbling a bit more north. I don't think upper Texas coast is out of the woods yet.
