Former Hurricane Julia has dissipated, but was still drenching Central America with torrential rains Monday after it reemerged in the Pacific. At least 19 people were reported dead as a direct or indirect result of the storm.
Children passes run by a street full of remains of trees broke by Hurricane Julia in Bluefields, Nicaragua, Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022. Hurricane Julia hit Nicaragua's central Caribbean coast on Sunday and dumped torrential rains across Central America before an expected reemergence over the Pacific.
Two other people died in the eastern El Salvador town of Guatajiagua after heavy rains caused a wall of their home to collapse. Another man in El Salvador died when he was swept away by a current, and another died when a tree fell on him. Julia hit Nicaragua’s central Caribbean coast early Sunday as a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph and survived the passage over the country’s mountainous terrain, entering the Pacific late in the day as a tropical storm.
The center said floods and mudslides were possible across Central America and southern Mexico through Tuesday, with the storm expected to bring as much as 15 inches of rain in isolated areas.
