Chaos as twin storms make landfall in the US

Felix slammed into Central America’s remote Miskito coastline and Henriette slammed into resorts on the tip of Baja California as a record-setting hurricane season got even wilder with twin storms making landfall on the same day.

Yesterday was historic for two reasons: It was the first time on record that two Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes made landfall in the same year, with Felix coming two weeks after Hurricane Dean slammed into southern Mexico; and it was the first time Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes made landfall the same day, according to records dating back to 1949.
