Hurricane Otis makes history

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on the tropics in the wake of Hurricane Otis. The hurricane went from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in a matter of 24 hours. He describes its intensification as explosive. According to Weber it was the strongest landfall on Mexico’s Pacific coastline. Weber is also watching Hurricane Tammy in the Atlantic, which has strengthened. He says the storm will eventually works its way into stronger winds and cooler waters, which will force it to weaken as it skirts the east side of Bermuda.
