Central America braces for Tropical Storm Sara's 'life-threatening' downpour

SAN JOSE (Reuters) - Central American countries scrambled on Thursday night to make preparations for the impact of Tropical Storm Sara, with Honduras likely to be the first in the storm's path as it slowly churns from the Caribbean.

Sara is moving west toward the northern coast of Honduras at a speed of 10 mph (16 kph), and is expected to weaken over the next few days, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC).
