Hurricane Threatens Cancun

Hurricane Paula ripped through Mexicos Yucatan Peninsula Tuesday night.  It has damaged homes and has forced schools to close in Honduras as it has gained force and been upgraded to a category 2 hurricane with winds up to 100 mph.  It is expected to hit the Yucatan Peninsula tomorrow morning so warnings have been given out.  The Yucatan Peninsula is covered with tourist resorts and many offshore tourist attractions.  This hurricane has caused many of those attractions to cancel reservations as many have taken their boats ashore.  Paula dumped 6 inches of rain in Honduras and destroyed 19 homes so many are preparing for the damaging storm.
