This is devastating news for Cozumel, Cancun and who knows where else. We were unbelievably lucky - damn.

2. The Gulf is almost as warm as bathwater this summer

I think I read that it was 91 degrees F. That's a LOT of potential energy, and it's only mid July. Just wait until August!

5. Technically, it is 1 MPH from category 5

I believe they round up so it is anywhere from 151-155 MPH. That is little comfort to the people about to be hit with it though.
