How Quickly They Grow Up

Hurricane Felix has earned a place in the record books, and the storm hasn't even hit land yet. First of all, it set a new record for the length of time it took to go from tropical storm status to a full-blown category 5 beast: 51 hours. Normally, it takes several days for such storms to become a category 1 hurricane.

Also, this marks the first time since record keeping started in 2005 that the first two hurricanes of the season both reached category 5 status.

By the way, it is important to note that global warming has nothing to do with this. After all, global warming is just a myth.... Kind of like that evolution thing.
