Tropical Storm Sara is unleashing heavy rainfall in northeastern Honduras, with life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides anticipated through the weekend.

Wading through waist-deep water, residents along the northern coast of Honduras trudged through the streets on Friday carrying their belongings and pets, as heavy rains from Tropical Storm Sara caused widespread flooding across the area.

Tropical Storm Sara formed Thursday in the Caribbean, and is poised to deliver "potentially catastrophic" rainfall in Honduras in particular. It's not yet clear if it will threaten the Gulf Coast, though it's possible.
