Tuesday, July 19th, 2005 — After slowing down on Monday, Hurricane Emily regained strength on Tuesday in the Gulf of Mexico and is set for a second strike against Mexico and south Texas. After ripping roofs off resort hotels and stranding thousands of tourists in the Yucatan Peninsula, the storm weakened during the rampage but once it went back out to sea it began to strengthen again developing sustained winds of nearly 90 mph. Forecasters expect Emily, a Category 1 hurricane, to hit northeastern Mexico, possibly as a major hurricane later Tuesday.
