Tropical Storm Paula

The tropical storm< Paula in the Caribbean has deminished and is no longer a tropical depression.  It was able to create 3-6 inches of rain and has flooded the roads, but I dont think this is a big hazard to the people in this area because they are use to having this storms in their area.  I think they will be very resilient and bounce back quickly.  This is very good because they are forecasting that there will be conditions around Panama next week that could create another tropical storm.  The people that live around the Gulf coast need to be very resilent to tropical storms because they occur so frequently in that area.
