It currently 50 miles north of Aruba.
While it started out South of Dean’s track, it now is tracking more to the North and may hit in the same area as Dean on the Yucatan. The steering still isn’t certain after it enters the Bay of Campeche and it could strike Mexico further North.

Felix the Cat (2), eh? What’s in it’s magic bag o’ trix?
Nothing good, because if the ridge currently providing steering breaks down, Felix could follow Ivan’s path through the gap between the Yucatan and Cuba and nail the northern Gulf. If it stays on its current path it will nail the people who got clobbered by Dean and are try to clean up.
