dimanche, 15 novembre 2020 à 20:08 - The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) is warning Iota could bring flash flooding and mudslides across northern Colombia and Central America as early as Monday.
GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Iota has strengthened into a category 2 hurricane as it barrels toward Central America, a region still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Eta, and experts predict this year's unprecedented storm season will force more people to migrate.
As of 7 p.m. EST on Sunday (000 GMT on Monday), Hurricane Iota was about 255 miles (410 km) off the Nicaraguan-Honduran coast, packing maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour (161 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC).
