Felix down to 135 mph, but may restrengthen

From the latest update to my Pajamas Media post on Hurricane Felix:

Felix is down to 135 mph, a minimal Category 4, as of 5:00 PM. Of course, a "minimal Category 4" is still one heck of a powerful storm. ...

With landfall likely to occur in a relatively unpopulated area, flooding remains the principal threat, and [Alan] Sullivan "remain[s] optimistic that the storm is too small and quick moving to cause major loss of life from flooding in the more populous interior." He hopes, however, that residents have been adequately warned: "That area is one of the poorest parts of our hemisphere, and communications are sparse." Sullivan also suggests that Hurricane Watches for Belize are "overkill." ...

Meanwhile, Eric Berger notes that 2007 is only the fourth season in recorded history with two Category Five hurricanes.
