On Tuesday Hurricanes Henriette (category 1) and Felix (cat 5) made landfall, the first time an Atlantic and Pacific hurricane have hit the coast on the same day since the 1940's. Felix left death and destruction behind in Nicaragua: 65 are confirmed dead, and another 200 are said to be missing. The AP has stats on the relief efforts that have already begun.

Forecast models vastly mis-predicted the intensity of Felix, a storm that grew to a category 5 in a record 51 hours, according to NG News. We obviously still have much to learn about our planet's climate.
