Hanna, the eighth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, formed quickly Monday morning as a tropical storm and has now moved inland after making landfall along the Caribbean coast near the Nicaragua - Honduras border.
Due to its interaction with land, it has weakened as quickly as it has developed. As of Monday evening, it is a tropical depression.
The storm is expected to bring potentially life-threatening rain to the region. It stirred up dangerous seas, and the Nicaraguan navy said 17 people were rescued from two capsized sailboats, according to The Associated Press.The main concern for Hanna will be heavy rain, flooding and mudslides over the next few days in parts of Honduras and northern Nicaragua, where up to 15 inches of rain may fall. Tropical storm-force winds, mainly in sporadic gusts, until Hanna weakens inland.
