[Jyo_hurricane] Hurricane Dean: August 16, Update A

Just a short note for now:

Dean (the storm, not the person I know by that name :)) is now a
Hurricane (although Dean the person could be too...). He's a weak cat 1
with sustained winds of 80 mph (~70 kt) (cat 1: 74-95 mph; 64-82 kt) and
is moving at a fairly fast rate of 24 mph in a west-northwest direction.
He is at about 13.5N and 53.3W. Those on the islands already have
hurricane watches and warnings in place. Stay safe.

I will send more out on this later.

J.
