Powerful Hurricane Iota made landfall on Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast late Monday, threatening catastrophic damage to the same part of Central America already battered by equally strong Hurricane Eta less than two weeks ago.

Iota had intensified into an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm early in the day, but the U.S. National Hurricane Center said it weakened slightly to Category 4, with maximum sustained winds of 250 kph (155 mph ). Its centre made landfall about 45 kilometres (30 miles) south of the Nicaraguan city of Puerto Cabezas, also known as Bilwi.

Iota already hit the Caribbean coasts of Nicaragua and Honduras with torrential rains and strong winds.
