☆ Tropical Storm Sara forms in the Caribbean and heads toward ‘life-threatening’ impact with Central America
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-14 | by ( Mary Gilbert | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —Tropical Storm Sara is here and closing in on Central America where it will unleash disastrous flooding rain in the region. The storm will bring “life-threatening” flooding rainfall up to 30 inches to Honduras and double-digit rainfall totals to other parts of Central America, the NHC warned. This scenario would bring strong winds and torrential rain to Central America, but could keep the storm away from the US entirely or have it approach as a very weak storm. It would still unleash life-threatening flooding rainfall in Central America and head for dangerous strike on Belize and Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. This would bring more substantial impacts to Central America, the Yucatán and Belize and a much more troubling forecast for the US.

The Kremlin introduced new restrictions on Wednesday to medical payouts for Russia's wounded troops, swiftly enacting a decree that allows only those with severe injuries to receive a promised $30,000. Related VideoBut Russian leader Vladimir Putin's new instruction on Wednesday reduces that payout to $10,000 for less severe injuries and $1,000 for other cases. Russia still holds to a law signed by Putin in March 2022 that entitles those who die in the war to about 7.4 million rubles, or $75,000, as well as 5 million rubles, or $50,000, to their families. AdvertisementThose wounded and deemed "unfit for duty" are also entitled to another 2.96 million rubles on top of their injury payout. The UK estimated that as many as 1,500 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded on average for every day of October.
