As world watches Irma, Hurricanes Jose and Katia gather strength


As Category 4 Hurricane Irma commands most of the media attention this week, two other hurricanes – Jose and Katia – have been gathering strength as they threaten landfall. But Hurricane Jose has officially been classified a Category 4 storm, and Hurricane Katia was set to slam into Mexico early Saturday. Jose was roughly 415 miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands – which Irma already hit earlier this week. Meantime, Hurricane Katia was threatening to make landfall early Saturday in the state of Veracruz in Mexico. Hurricane warnings suggest rainfall from Katia could result in “life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain," the National Hurricane Center said.
