SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras, 15th November, 2024 (WAM) -- Tropical Storm Sara made landfall in northern Honduras late Thursday and threatened to dump torrential rains across parts of Central America and southern Mexico.
Sara hit land about 105 miles (165 kilometers) west-northwest of the Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Honduras-Nicaragua border, according to the US National Hurricane Centre in Miami. That is near Brus Laguna, a village of about 13,000 inhabitants. There are few other population centres nearby.
Mexican authorities warned it could cause “intense rains” over the resort-studded Yucatan Peninsula.
Sara had winds of about 45 miles per hour (75 kph) and was moving west at about 10 miles per hour (17 kph).
