The storm has reconstituted itself over the open ocean and anyone in the way needs to pay attention, including the Yucatan Peninsula and nearby islands.

The wind speed picked up and the central pressure dropped and its peripheral boundaries took shape as soon as this accelerating storm moved off land over water again.
The eye wall got tight very quick. It has the potential to be huge and mean.
Katrina's high winds happened very, very quickly. Katrina was a Cat 1 when it passed over Florida.
Predictions are saying it will mostly dissipate in five days. I don't know about that. I hope they're right, but, I think it better to be prudent. There is a lot of 'hot water' this storm will travel over in the Gulf before five days are out. If nothing else there is potential for a tonne of rain.
