We're barely into September and already we have two Cat 5 hurricanes, Dean and Felix. This is the only year in recorded hurricane history to have two Cat 5s make landfall at that intensity.
There were four Cat 5s in 2005, and you have to go back to 1961 before you get even two in one entire year. Katrina was 2005 but, remember, it was only Cat 5 for a little while and came down to 3 before it hit. With a good three months to go in the season, it's just a matter of time before a full Cat 5 makes landfall in the U.S. Last one was Andrew in 1992.
