Hurricane Paulette was a long- lived, extremely powerful, and highly dangerous Atlantic hurricane that was the first time in recorded history to make land-falling impact on the western shore of the United States coast in a Category II Hurricane, or a full category. The hurricane Paulette is named for the casino in Puerto Rico. It's name is derived from the highest recorded speed of wind that has struck the Caribbean in more than 110 years. Hurricane Paulette actually made four landfalls in the Eastern Caribbean Sea, and she was at her strongest in the lowest place for landfalls - in this region, it actually became an a tropical storm. Photoshop CC 2019 VIPTOOLAZ means all Caribbean Barrier islands experienced strong winds, massive waves, and rain storms that impacted beaches throughout the Eastern Caribbean Sea.

As Hurricane Paulette arrived, there were no warnings for tropical storms. Many of those who fled the island without a warning about a storm in the Eastern Caribbean Sea (Northern Mexico) were unaware that such an advisory was in place. While there were warnings for tropical storms for the same region of the Gulf of Mexico as Hurricane Paulette struck, there was no public announcement of the possibility of storms or tornadoes. The door was wide open for the possibility of winds picking up as the close of the week approached. A lot of residents in Puerto Rico and the surrounding region experienced severe rain and strong winds during the hurricane Paulette, with some regions being most affected by heavy rain. It wasn't until late afternoon on the fourth day that the National Weather Service issued a tropical storm warning however, there were still many who reported moderate to light rain.

On the fifth day of the week, the morning of Hurricane Paulette started to diminish and dissipate. However the winds picked up and were much stronger than was anticipated. The winds were up to forty miles per hour, and Tropical Storm Paulette was said to be moving toward the coastline. The winds intensified to greater intensity, and this increased the risk of damaging rain, and flooding. The hurricane Paulette was declared a tropical storm. It was a storm with a high chance for storms and tornadoes as well as heavy rains. It is vital to note that National Weather Service meteorologists called storms similar to Hurricane Wilma, which struck areas of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico,"Rita "Rita" due to the fact that they developed in a similar way.

The Eastern Caribbean Sea had become so dry that even though Hurricane Paulette was not in full swing, it became more important to keep the area lit. This is to ensure that oil rigs that are located in the area don't create fires that could lead to a fire hazard. Many residents of Puerto Rico, especially the less fortunate ones, didn't have air conditioning during the entire duration of the storm and many had to seek relief from the heat in the indoors. Many factories in the area were destroyed beyond repair by the hurricane Paulette and many Puerto Rican families were forced to forgo food supplies in the hope of being able to eat enough. However, because the Caribbean Sea was so dry during Hurricane Paulette the rain from this tropical storm was not that much or even any. This, coupled with the fact that the Atlantic Ocean was relatively calm, resulted in that the Eastern Caribbean Sea received a massive amount of rain, much greater than is typical. This led to record floods and devastating flooding.

When hurricane watchers and forecasters started to issue hurricane warnings in the late Saturday and early Monday afternoons, the majority of people living in the Eastern Caribbean took these warnings very seriously. Many island communities, particularly those in the poorer areas, took the warnings from National Weather Service as a severe warning for hurricanes. But, as Hurricane Paulette approached the Eastern Caribbean Sea became very warm and was overcast with heavy rains. Due to this, the National Weather Service and its forecast models realized that Hurricane Paulette could be a formidable, perhaps record breaking hurricane. Many island residents were afraid to leave or didn't have the resources to do this.



The hurricane Paulette could turn into a major storm with such massive rainfall coming from the ocean, and the weak east breeze blowing along with tropical storm intensified winds that are blowing out of Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately the Hurricane Paulette was a weak tropical storm , and did not develop into a hurricane. On Monday evening, Hurricane Paulette's "eye wall" or eye blemish, appeared and transformed into a hurricane storm. A light tropical storm formed as the eye wall reached Northern Jamaica and produced sustained winds of about ninety miles an hour. This is a rare development during tropical storms.
