Eta Quickly Strengthenening As It Approaches Nicaragua

Eta is quickly strengthening as it slowly approaches the Nicaragua coast. 

Current position: 

140 miles E of Cabo Gracias A Dios On Nic/Hon Border 

165 miles ENE of Puerto Cabezas Nicaragua

Winds are now at 90 mph, and Eta could still become a major hurricane prior to landfall. 

Eta should move inland tonight. 

Most of Central America is expected to experience 1 to 2 FEET of rain.

"Through Friday evening, heavy rainfall from Eta will lead to

catastrophic, life-threatening flash flooding and river flooding

across portions of Central America, along with landslides in areas

of higher terrain", the National Hurricane Center said. 

"Flash and river flooding is also possible across

Jamaica, southeast Mexico, El Salvador, southern Haiti, and the

Cayman Islands."
