#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."

@rolle
I've got to say, I saw this on TV when they aired it locally, and it's a great graphic.

It really explains to the people living in those areas how dangerous the we are talking about can get, because so many of them want to stay behind and try to mitigate damage as it happens or something, and we keep trying to impress upon them that the best you can do is put your valuables in high places or in your car as part of your prep, and drive out of there. This only happens in the couple miles closest to the water, so you only need to go like a couple miles inland to get away from this.

When I lived near the coast, I evacuated three times, and it was basically just driving to a friend's house for the night. The third time ended up being two nights because it was Ian and that one was over us for like 24 hours, and when I got back, the house had had a foot of water in it and all the cars on the street had been destroyed by .

#Milton will make landfall on Florida's west coast Wednesday night, likely as a Category 3 #hurricane. The state is bracing for life-threatening #StormSurge, damaging winds and flooding rain. #FortMeyers #Tampa #Sarasota
