Hurricane Jimena takes aim at Baja California

In the breaking news today on CNN I found out that Hurricane Jimena has been quickly heading to Baja California.  Speeds are up to one hundred and forty miles per hour!  This could be extremely threatening to the people in that area.  If the high speeds continue to pick up, which they are suppose to, the people in Southern California will need to be aware of the dangerous hurricane. The people who track hurricanes for a living say that it is extremely rare to see this many hurricanes in August so they are keeping a close eye on them.  

I believe that it is excellent to post this updates on the daily for people to read about and be aware, if we did not have the useful hurricane tracker we would be in a lot of trouble and the United States would not be in the state it is today, it would be in terrible condition.  I feel as if Hurricane Katrina for example has made people way more conscientious about their safety during a hurricane.  Since Katrina did so much damage the trackers are trying to prevent as much as they can and to keep people as safe as they can.  Since Katrina, it has been more clear when to be aware of a hurricane and you can tell they are trying to prevent danger to people which is excellent.
