Hurricane Beryl Weakens to Tropical Storm

Storm Lashes Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula

Three Natural Protected Areas Impacted

**Quintana Roo, Mexico** - Tropical Storm Beryl, formerly a Category 5 hurricane, has weakened after making landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula near Tulum. The storm has caused significant damage, impacting at least three natural protected areas along the coast of Quintana Roo. Beryl brought heavy rains, strong winds, and flooding to the region. The storm has since moved out over the Gulf of Mexico, but is still expected to bring heavy rainfall and wind to Mexico's eastern states. Authorities are urging residents to take precautions and stay informed about the storm's path. Evacuations have been ordered in some areas, and shelters have been opened to provide refuge for those affected by the storm. Recovery efforts are underway in the affected areas. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but officials say it could take weeks or months to rebuild.
