Rejuvenated Cleo-- Killer hurricane Cleo tonight rages toward southeast Florida, with winds up to 125 miles an hour and pushing an eight-foot tide ahead. Gale warnings were posted from Cape Kennedy to Key Largo and hurricane watch flags were hoisted from Cape Kennedy to West Palm Beach. Cleo’s winds dropped to 75 MPH over Cuba but she got a second wind and is a threat again.
