Even though the hurricane season is almost over we will see at least few more hurricanes before the end of November. A recent hurricane that was spotted in the tip of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula and the west of Cuba, the winds were 100 mph as of this past Tuesday. The hurricane known as Paula, centered at about 85 miles southeast of Mexico according to the National Hurricane Center. Paula is looked at as a small but very powerful hurricane. Hurricane paula tipped the scale in to a hurricane strength earlier today and was intensified very quickly to a category 2 storm.
Hurricane warning are in effect for the coast of Mexico from the Punta Gruesa north to the Cabo catche including the Cuban province of Pinar del Rio. According to the National Hurricane Center, hurricane Paula should be strengthening by Thursday and will be weakened after that.
The Hurricane Center described Paula as "small," given that its hurricane-force winds extend outward only up to 15 miles (30 kilometers) from the center and tropical strength-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 kilometers).
Hurricane Paula is predicted to drop about three to six inches of rain over the eastern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula. Also, it is predicated that in some isolated areas the maximum amount rain will be about ten inches. This would or will cause a flash floods and mudslides.
My advice to the people that live in the mentioned locations to this the hurricane Paula seriously and prepare for it appropriately; even though, the National Hurricane center has predicted this hurricane to be small, the size could change at any given point. So educate one another and make sure that there is enough food saved up for a few days.
From the prediction that the center has this hurricane will not reach the united states but the state like Florida might experience strong winds and gusts and rain.
