TELA, Honduras, Nov 15 (Reuters) - 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.

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

Tropical Storm Sara is nearing landfall in Belize, where forecasters expect heavy rain to cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides
