Tropical Storm Gil (2007)

As the storm headed west, the wave interacted with a large upper-level trough centered over the eastern Caribbean Sea.

[1] The wave emerged over the eastern North Pacific on 27 August, and the shower activity became concentrated just south of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico.

[5] Tropical Storm Gil had attained peak winds reached only 40 knots[6] and a minimum pressure of 1001 mbar at August 30 at 12:00 UTC.

[1] The cooler waters induced a weakening which lead Tropical Storm Gil degenerating into a remnant low on September 2 at 15:00 UTC.

Jesús Enrique Campos Medina, a 14-year-old boy, got caught in the flooding in his hometown of Culiacán by the wind and downpours of Tropical Storm Gil.

In Culiacán, around 100 vehicles were stranded in sectors such as Las Quintas, the city center and Chapultepec, causing severe road congestion.

[5] In some urban areas, the water reached one meter in height and in neighborhoods in the north of Culiacán, such as Humaya, Cuauhtémoc and the Issstesin subdivision, dozens of families were evicted by Civil Protection personnel and municipal police.
