Managua/Miami - Tropical Storm Ida is threatening Nicaragua, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said on Wednesday. The storm was due to make landfall in Nicaragua on Thursday morning, possibly at hurricane strength, and then continue towards Honduras, the centre said. The government in Managua has issued a storm warning and has made emergency accommodation available for several thousand people in the region. Floods and landslides are a particular threat and kill the most people during the rainy season. The hurricane season, which officially lasts until the end of October, has passed off with no significant damage across the region this year so far. No hurricane has made landfall in the Caribbean so far this year. Last year, the storms caused severe damage especially in Cuba and Haiti.
