#TropicalStormSara remainders still haunting the W of #Yucatan peninsula, after an unwelcome pour of rain over countries in the area. The outcome in flash floods, landslides and other storm related incidents still has NOT been assessed.
Remember, the countries in the area do NOT have much in surplus or resources allocated to prevention, and handling damage to infrastructure (or much infrastructure, to start with). Spare a thought for them.

#TropicalStormSara bringing heavy rains inland, as it skims N coast of Honduras.
Remember, #NWS NHC NOAA are a public service of the US govt, a Common Good funded by tax payer, and the inbound #tRump regime plans to dismantle it and turn its most basic services to private subscription.

#TropicalStormSara to unleash life-threatening #flooding in #CentralAmerica
Tropical Storm Sara will bring an extreme risk to lives and property in Central America where feet of rain may fall before tracking toward #Florida next week.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Nov 14, 2024
"Rain may pour down for days on the northern parts of #Nicaragua and #Honduras before shifting to eastern parts of #Guatemala, #Belize and southeastern #Mexico this weekend.
"A general 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) will fall in this zone, but a large pocket of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) of rain is forecast from northern Honduras and Nicaragua, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 50 inches (127 cm).
"'This amount of rain will trigger major #FlashFlooding and #mudslides with the potential for catastrophic loss of life and tremendous damage,' AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter warned.
"Some communities could be cut off for days due to washed-out roads and bridges or blocked by debris flows. Demands for rescue and recovery efforts, as well as food and medical supplies, will be great in the wake of the storm in the region.
"Because of Sara's proximity to the #Caribbean for several days, it will likely not unwind fully. As a result, winds, waves and #StormSurge will blast the coast of #Honduras, eastern #Guatemala, #Belize and Mexico's #Yucatan Peninsula. Sporadic #PowerOutages are likely due to #StrongWinds."
