Hurricane Felix becomes rare top-ranked storm

Hurricane Felix became an extremely dangerous category-five storm on Sunday as it swept through the southern Caribbean on a path toward Central America and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, United States forecasters said. On a similar — though more southerly — track to that of last month’s powerful Hurricane Dean, which killed 27 people, Felix’s top sustained winds were at 270km/h.
