Storm Franklin today
Tropical Storm Franklin at 7:00 am, UTC time.
It is currently already in "strengthening" phase. High water temperatures will favor Than to the storm so that it continues to gain in intensity. Alberto Hernández, general coordinator of the SNM said, "it could even become a hurricane", of category 1 in principle, on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
From the outset, there are no victims to lament, and all the material damage it has caused has already been reduced, the authorities report. In Quintana Roo, there were some cuts in communications, but yesterday afternoon they were restored again. Likewise, the maximum alert has been activated, waiting for Franklin to hit the mainland again in the form of a Hurricane.

Picture of how Franklin is expected to be when he makes landfall
As can be seen in the image, Franklin will have gained more intensity. The image represents the maximum point it could reach, in almost 24 hours later to the current one, the previous hung image. Both images are taken to identify the wind at 500 meters above sea level.
Winds exceeding 100km / h are expected. The authorities have also warned of heavy rains that the storm will bring, and could cause serious deadly floods so various notices and alerts have been extended.
LET US COMMENT THAT I WAS, IN A TOURIST PLACE OF QUINTANA ROO; CALLED MAHAHUAL MUNICIPALITY OF CHETUMAL Q.ROO, THE DAY OF FRANKLIN'S ARRIVAL, AND EVERYTHING WAS WITH A WHITE BALANCE, NOTHING TO REGRET, WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE TOURIST INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE POPULATION OF THE PLACE
//From the outset there is no need to mourn victims, and all the material damage it has caused has already been reduced, authorities report. In Quintana Roo, if there were algunos communications cuts, but yesterday afternoon they were restored again.//
It is the only thing that was commented, some cut. You may not even notice. Likewise, nothing else was commented on Quintana Roo, since the post is dedicated to Franklin.
