Hurricane/Tropical Storm Alma (it means "soul" in Spanish) came out of nowhere to bombard the northwest corner of Nicaragua with a projected 20 inches of rain. Winds have been fierce too and residents are comparing the storm to the infamous 1998 Hurricane Mitch, which devastated the north half of the country. Keep updated by checking on the news headlines here. If you are in Nicaragua—or speaking with anyone on the ground—please post updates on this special forum thread.
