Tropical Storm Bebinca

So, a tropical storm is when there is a lot of wind and rain in a certain area. Think about when you splash around in a puddle and make a lot of water move around - that's kind of like what a tropical storm does but on a much bigger scale.

Now, this particular tropical storm is named Bebinca. It started off in the ocean and started moving towards some land. When a tropical storm gets close to land, it can be dangerous because of all the rain and wind it brings.

People who live in the areas where Bebinca was heading had to be careful and prepare for the storm. They might have had to evacuate (which means leave their homes and go somewhere safer) or make sure their homes were protected from all the rain and wind.

Thankfully, Bebinca didn't end up causing too much damage. But it's always important to be ready and stay safe when there's a tropical storm coming your way.
