Tropical Storm Sara made landfall in northern Honduras late on Thursday local time and threatened to dump torrential rains across parts of Central America and southern Mexico.

Sara hit land about 105 miles north west of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Honduras-Nicaragua border, according to the US National Hurricane Center in Miami. That is near Brus Laguna, a village of about 13,000 inhabitants.
