Hurricanes Katia and Jose Threaten Mexico, Eastern Caribbean
------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, forecasters warned that Hurricane Katia could strengthen in
the warm waters of the western Gulf of Mexico into a major hurricane
before it makes landfall in the Mexican state of Veracruz, south of
flood-ravaged Texas, which is still reeling from mass flooding after
Harvey's landfall less than two weeks ago. And in the eastern Caribbean,
Hurricane Jose is threatening to bring fierce winds and a storm surge to
the island of Barbuda, where Hurricane Irma damaged 95 percent of the
island's buildings after it hit on Tuesday.
