Tropical Storm Sara has started moving slightly faster after stalling over Honduras, drenching the northern coast of the Central American nation, swelling rivers and trapping some people at home.

Heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Sara caused roads to flood and a bridge to partially collapse in northern Honduras.

Sara was forecast to drop 10 to 20 inches of rain, with up to 30 inches in isolated areas in northern Honduras. In a 7 a.m. Eastern update, the hurricane center said "heavy rain, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides" were possible through the weekend in Central America.
