SURPRISE!!!

Posted by ns62590 on November 5, 2009

Just when we thought hurricane season 2009 was over, we have a hurricane out in the Caribbean Sea this morning! Hurricane Ida strengthened from a tropical storm earlier this morning and has made landfall near Tasbapauni, Nicaragua – in Central America as a category one hurricane with winds of 75 mph. Over the next 36 hours or so, the center of Ida should weaken as it tracks over the mountainous terrain of Honduras and Nicaragua. People there should brace for very heavy rains and potentially life threatening mudslides. If Ida survives the next 36 hours or so over land, then it would emerge over the Caribbean Sea and perhaps into the Gulf of Mexico. We will keep you updated on the latest developments on Ida.
