Hurricane Rina

The newest hurricane in the Caribbean is Hurricane Rina. The hurricane has grown into a Category 2 storm as it heads towards Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.  The storm is expected to become a major storm in the next few hours, and should hit the coast of Mexico on Thursday.  Warnings have already been issued for the area, including the popular tourist city of Cancun.  The hurricane formed off of the coasts of Honduras and Nicaragua.  The hurricane's path moved away from other Central America countries that have already experienced huge amounts of rain and flooding.  This relates to the Swiss Cheese Model discussed in class.  These countries are very lucky that the hurricane is not going to be affecting them because of the extensive damage that they have already experienced.
