Iota To Strengthen, Threatens Central America

10pm Motzei Shabbos: Iota now has 70 mph winds, and rapid intensification appears likely. Iota could become a category 4 hurricane before landfall. 

Depression #31 became Tropical Storm Iota later Friday, and is expected to quickly strengthen before slamming into Central America. 

Damaging winds and flooding rains are likely in Nicaragua and Honduras. 

Many areas are expected to get 10 to 15 inches of rain. These are the same places that just got 2 to 4 feet of rain from Eta.
