Re: Landfall

I recently traveled to Guatemala. And I saw in person where a mudslide had traveled down a mountain side and wiped out a village of 1,500 people
in 2005 after Hurricane Stan. I hope that they have improved their warning systems and that the people listen. Words cannot describe how terrible
it was to see what had happened there. Even though Felix is moving fast it has the potential to cause catastrophic damage in isolated areas from
flooding and mudslides.
