Tropical Storm Barry was the second named storm of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season. It made landfall on Florida, United States, in the first week of June 2007. It was a tropical storm that grew quickly. It was formed as a tropical wave then it developed in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on June 1. Tropical Storm Barry was made its way in a northeastward direction with a maximum sustained winds of at least 60 miles per hour or equivalent to 95 kilometers per hour. Then, it weakened and it downgraded as a tropical depression. It landed near Tampa Bay. Barry quickly lost tropical characteristics because of the wind shear. It moved up the East Coast of the United States and it was taken over by a bigger extratropical storm on June 5. Barry brought heavy rains in the different parts of United States of America. At least 55 houses were damaged and two people lost their lives because of the heavy rains that triggered flooding. Even though, there is a tragic incident had happened because of this tropical storm, there is also a positive impact in the dry conditions in Florida. That is the reason, it is still a blessing.
