You normally don't see them this strong in May...

Must be global warming - or the moon phase - or voodoo -  something - for these bastards to form this early. 

Doesn't bode well for the rest of the storm season. 

And it's heading towards Florida maybe... 

Authorities in Mexico worked overnight into Tuesday to clear highways blocked by mudslides and flooding (left, bottom right) along the southern coast as Hurricane Agatha barrelled down on the country, bringing record-breaking 150mph winds and torrential rains (top right). Hurricane Agatha made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane on Monday afternoon, touching down with the strong winds on a sparsely populated beach towns and fishing villages in the Oaxaca state on the Pacific coast (inset: fishermen move their boats to higher ground). The hurricane quickly lost power as it moved inland over the mountainous interior - and by Monday evening, it weakened to a tropical storm, with its sustained winds down to 70mph. Agatha is expected to dissipate further by Tuesday evening, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC), which maintained a warning of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in Oaxaca state. Agatha, the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in May in the eastern Pacific, swept ashore and brought howling winds and downpours that whipped palm trees and drove tourists and residents into shelters. Rain caused mud and rocks to slide into two highways in Oaxaca, blocking access to at least one area of the state, local authorities said. Mexico's transportation ministry was working to clear the roads late on Monday evening. Some towns in Oaxaca were left without electricity, and one transformer exploded, authorities said. Telephone lines were knocked out on Monday, forcing authorities to communicate by radio.
