Hurricane Felix strengthened to a Category 2 storm and shifted away from Curacao on Sunday, taking an unpredictable path that left Caribbean islands over a stretch of hundreds of miles fearful of the winds and rain to come. Felix was upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane Saturday evening, becoming the second Atlantic hurricane of the season. By early Sunday, it had sustained maximum winds of about 105 mph and threatened to become a major hurricane as the day went on, said the U.S. National Hurricane Centre in Miami, Florida. The storm was forecast to pass just north of the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba, where heavy rain was falling on the island of 100,000 people as the centre passed north. The island's airport was closed.
