Emily may reach Cat 5 status. Have there been other storms that reached Cat 5 in July?




Nope. Earlier in this post or the previous one someone asked and the reply was that the earliest recorded Cat 5 was Allen in 1980 who became a Cat 5 on Aug 5th. And came ashore just south of the Mexico- US border .... almost exactly where Emily is supposed to be heading...
