Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has declared a state of emergency in the wake of Hurricane Felix. The Category 5 storm made landfall on Tuesday. It damaged 5,000 homes and left 30,000 people homeless. Meanwhile, on the Pacific coast Hurricane Henriette hit the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico. This marks the first time since record keeping began that two hurricanes made landfall on the same day, and 2007 has become the first year ever in which two Category 5 hurricanes made landfall. Many scientists say there is a direct correlation between the stronger storms and the increased sea surface temperatures caused by global warming.
