September 4th, 2007
Hurricane Felix, a category 5 hurricane with winds at 160 mph, hit Nicaragua's Miskito Coast around dawn Tuesday morning.
The storm tore off roofs and caused other damage to the infrastructure.
This is the first time that two Atlantic category 5 hurricanes have made landfall in the same year. Dean hit Mexico recently as a category 5 hurricane.
Felix hit land and slowed to 100 mph. At 11 a.m., the storm was traveling at 15 mph through Honduras and Guatemala and over the Tehuantepec Peninsula. The heavy rainfall may flood parts of Central America.
Hurricane Henriette hit Mexico's Baja California Peninsula later Tuesday morning at 85 mph. The center of the storm will hit Tuesday afternoon.
