It may be winter in the northern hemisphere, but Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Eunice is churning south of the equator as January wraps up.
Eunice, first classified as a tropical storm Tuesday Jan. 27 about 1200 miles east of Madagascar in the southern Indian Ocean, exploded from a tropical storm with winds estimated at 60 mph Tuesday evening (U.S. EST) to Category 5 intensity, with maximum winds of 160 mph just 48 hours later,
according to the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center. This is an impressive rate of rapid intensification.
