IZAYAYA IS OUT IN THE GULF, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GULF RIGHT NOW. SHE IS A CAT, OR HE IS A CATEGORY ONE, AND IT'S MOVING NORTH, SO THE POSSIBLE AREA OF IMPACT'S GONNA BE EITHER ALABAMA OR MISSISSIPPI.

RACHEL'S JUST OFF THE COAST OF BAJA, AND SHE'S SUPPOSED TO TURN TO THE EAST. IT'S GONNA FOLLOW THE SAME DIRECTION THAT POLO TOOK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND MIGHT END UP IN WEST TEXAS.
