All Hurricanes form the same way, as they all start out as tropical depressions and grow into tropical storms. We watched Super Hurricane Cat Five Katrina, Rita and Wilma grow from small storms. They look innocent enough in the beginning and hardly as deadly as we see after landfall amongst the debris and destruction. This has been the busiest tropcial season on record with the most named storms. We watched the most recent Hurricane Wilam as she literally took out Cozemel and flooded Cancune. Indeed some say that a Cat Five Hurricane like Super Hurricane Wilma would take out and destroy whatever it hurt. Cosemel never had a change as Hurricane Wilma came ashore as a Category Four Hurricane and leveled the tourist hot spot. Much of Mexico's economy is in fact from Tourism. Hurricane Wilma also halted several festivals in the Yucatan and in Key West Florida, costing all those local economies millions in lost tax revenues, which are now needed to rebuild but also hampered many small business owners who may not be able to recover. Western Cuba also was flooded and there were Hurricane Wilma deaths in Cuab, in fact the death toll keeps rising, as the area was so severely flooded that no one could get in to see just how bad it was. The United States we are not alone to the havoc waged by tropicla depressions, tropical stroms or the "Cat Five" Horrific Hurricanes. No matter what the size or category we must take these storms seriously. Think about this article and its purpose. |
