peninsula. it s starting to weaken because it s over land, 60 miles per hour. this is moving along pretty good. rainfall totals 3 to 5 inches and max up to 8. flash flooding can be expected and power outages, and larger tree limbs could come down. this will move over the bay of campeche later tonight and into tomorrow and probably intensify again and become a hurricane. you can see the forecast track with the second land fall later this week on mexico s mainland. texas, keep a heads up in case it takes a northerly track. you might get outer bands but nothing major for you. let s talk about the other two storms. this is really interesting, i think, tony. igor a julia, both category 4 storms that are producing 135-mile-an-hour wind speed but look at the differences. igor is about twice the size. yeah, in fact, i just saw a
tweet from nasa saying this is about 550 miles wide which means it would take you about ten hours to drive across. man! ten hours, that s a long trip, my friend. julia, making the record books here today as well. it s the eastern-most category 4 storm on record, and the last time we ve had two category 4s, by the way, at the same time, was 1926, and it only lasted about six hours. we re beyond the sick-hour mark right now, so nasty storms making the history books. we re only halfway through the season. no direct land fall but igor will bring rough waves to the east coast this weekend. she passionate about reducing the nuclear threat to the world. former senator sam nunn talks about the new star trek. he joins us next in the cnn newsroom.
