Hurricane Lee has strengthened into a Category 5 storm after "insane" rapid intensification in the Atlantic Ocean, going from a Category 1 storm with winds of 80 mph to a Category 4 with winds of 130 mph in under 12 hours. It is now packing a huge punch as it moves northwest, but it will thankfully pass the Lesser Antilles. However, it will still bring huge waves and strong rip currents, so you may want to cancel your beach day if you live in the eastern Caribbean. Those will be the main issue, along with some heavy rain, but the 160 mph winds shouldn't be a problem as it moves clear of the islands. Whether it will hit the United States is still unknown, though- it is too early to tell.
