Wading through waist-deep water, residents along the northern coast of Honduras trudged through the streets on Friday carrying their belongings and pets, as heavy rains from Tropical Storm Sara caused widespread flooding across the area.

Tropical Storm Sara is unleashing heavy rainfall in northeastern Honduras, with life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides anticipated through the weekend.

Despite the storm’s lack of a well-defined center, it will generate profound rainfall across Honduras, western Nicaragua, eastern El Salvador, Belize, parts of Guatemala and the Mexican state of Quintana Roo through Monday as it gradually tracks north.
