Roatan in the Bullseye

Aw, crap.

The Category 5 storm is expected to hit the coasts of Nicaragua and Honduras early Tuesday morning, according to the hurricane center.

As Felix intensified and closed in on the Central American coastline, the Honduran government issued a hurricane warning from Limon to its border with Nicaragua, the center said.

I sure hope they prepare well to reduce the loss of life and property.  That’s a monster.

Wendy and I took a cruise a few years ago and went to Belize and Roatan, Honduras.  We loved it - especially Roatan.  Here’s the pier.

And here’s Wendy on the zip line.

And here’s me stroking a monkey.

Let’s hope they survive the storm okay.
