I think Alex is definitely retired and there is a distinct possibility that Igor's impending impact on Bermuda will be severe enough to warrant retirement (let's hope not). Karl could catch a lot of people off guard. I hope they are prepared for this crazy guy.

Here's a map of the Mexican state of Veracruz. This region is where Karl is forecasted to landfall.

I could DEFIANTLY see him reaching Major status before landfall. I think he is super close to it right now. He certainly looks stronger then the 105 reported imo

Those are super cold cloud tops, and a tight system for 105...

yeah but the winds take time to respond and the cloud pattern is basically unmistakable.

Didn't our "A" storm this season (sorry forgot the name) undergo RI just a few hours before landfall? I remember it looking best immediately after landfall and we were thankful that it didn't have 6 more hours over water. We'll be saying the same thing about Karl. I think both were little tiny storms too.
