The Watchers by Teo Blašković on November 3, 2020
Hurricane "Eta" rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane on Monday and Tuesday, November 2 and 3, 2020, before it made landfall in Nicaragua at around 21:00 UTC (16:00 EST) on November 3.
• The center of Eta is expected to move inland over northern Nicaragua through Wednesday morning, and then move across the central portions of Honduras through Thursday morning.
• The system is forecast to emerge over the northwestern Caribbean Sea Thursday night or Friday, November 6.
• While it is too soon to determine the exact timing, magnitude, and location of possible impacts from wind and rainfall, interests in Cuba, southern Florida and the Florida Keys should monitor the progress of Eta through the week, NHC warns.
Evacuation orders have been issued for coastal areas in Nicaragua and Honduras, while in Nicaragua, red alerts have been declared for the Autonomous Region of the Northern Caribbean and the Mining Triangle ahead of the landfall.
The eyewall of extremely dangerous Hurricane "Eta" is moving onshore along the coast of northeastern Nicaragua, NHC forecasters said at 18:00 UTC (13:00 EST). Life-threatening storm surge, catastrophic winds, flash flooding, and landslides are expected across portions of Central America.
