Category III Hurricane Emily is Some Thing to See

Hurricane Emily the second Hurricane of the season slammed into Barbados and accelerated to Category III in no time, no in open water it makes its way west across the Caribbean and is organizing into a dangerous and potentially killer Hurricane. Most of the Meteorologists are already expecting a Category Four within the next couple of days. Moving at West North West at about 20 miles per hour at 125 miles per hour. Jamaica, the Caymans are worried along with anything on the Yucatan Peninsula as soon as Sunday. There is a chance that Hurricane Emily could make the straight shot gap between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba, meaning there would be no land to beak it up. Worse off as the Ruminants of Hurricane Dennis moves East offshore the weather systems could cause the Hurricane if it makes it past the land areas untouched, to turn North and attack the coast of Texas or even the Southern Shores of Louisiana.

This makes Emily an unknown and potentially dangerous where ever it hits. Since it is moving at 20 miles per hour now and if it continues, there is a good chance it will not come close to the United States. If you will recall Hurricane Iris slammed into Belize in the not two distant past killing 22 people and making 20,000 people homeless and costing over 40 million dollars which buys you quite a bit in that region.

Emily is a very serious threat and in the next couple of days we will find out just how serious. Meanwhile it should not affect the NASA Space Shuttle “Return to Space” Launch due to its current path. This has been an early Hurricane Season in 2005 and by all predictions appears to be a bad one.
