Hurricane Dean: Our First Gulf Hurricane

Check out this report on Hurricane Dean. It is heading straight for the Yucatan peninsula, and is expected to reach category 4 by Tuesday. For those worried about a possible repeat of Katrina, watch for any northward movement over the next few days. Also, recall that hurricanes in the gulf always shift northward at the last moment before landfall, so one can't make a linear projection from it's current course.
