    I think so, and it's already up to Cat. 4 strength. No threat to land, but I wouldn't want to be on a ship in that area.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    "Nearing" is right: according to Weather Underground, max wind speeds are 155mph, and Cat. 5 is 156+mph.

    Hurricane Amanda still a strong cat 3. Weakening is expected in the next 48 hours, when it's expected to be downgraded to a tropical storm.

    Seems early enough alright. However the NHC deems the eastern Pacific hurricane season as starting on 15th May each year, as opposed to the Atlantic one starting on June 1st.
