Tropical Storm Luis

Tropical Storm Luis was a powerful weather system that formed over warm ocean waters, bringing heavy rains, strong winds, and the potential for flooding and property damage. It is classified as a tropical storm because its winds ranged between 39 and 73 mph. Such storms develop from organized thunderstorms and can strengthen into hurricanes. Luis’s impact depended on its size, speed, and landfall location, affecting coastal communities with storm surges and rainfall. Tropical storms like Luis are monitored closely by meteorologists to provide advance warnings and help prepare affected areas.
