Karl is a cat 2-3 hurricane, sustained winds upto 200 km/hour.

But are getting no attention in the news (except maybe in Mexico).
If it was just a liitle further north it would a completely different story.
Veracruz is a port in the bay of Campeche, Gulf of Mexico with
a population of about 350.000.
Should also mention it's going directly towards Mexico City (pop
20 million...) and dumping large amounts of rain in the prosess.

Igor when
it hits Bermuda, don't be such a drama queen.

No doubt it's the fault of George Bush.
