Just check the satellite image here and see that eye forming http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT ... IR4/20.jpg. What a sight. The second tropical storm of December. The last time we had two tropical storms in December was way back in 1887. Just amazing stuff.

Well, it's not unprecedented, but it's certainly very rare.

Lili was a hurricane from Dec. 20-23 in 1984. And there was "Alice 2" in late 1954/early 1955.

It'll probably be short lived. It may have been a hurricane earlier today though!!!
