Ileana doesn't prove me wrong again

Hurricane Ileana decided to play nice and intensified to a Category 3 hurricane overnight in the middle of some very good conditions for strengthening. Good. It would have been really embarassing to have another hurricane only reach Category 2 right after I claimed that doesn't happen much anymore. Ileana is looking really healthy right now, and should reach Category 4 tomorrow. The storm's track remains far offshore, though, and there is no threat to land.

Meanwhile in the Atlantic, Debby is still chugging along and slowly organizing. This should continue through the end of the week, and Debby should be a hurricane somewhere east of Bermuda by then. She also won't threaten land.
