SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (AP) — Tropical Storm Sara has made landfall in northern Honduras and threatens to dump torrential rains across parts of Central America and southern Mexico. Sara hit land about 105 miles west-northwest of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Honduras-Nicaragua border, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. That is near Brus Laguna, a village of about 13,000 inhabitants. There are few other population centers nearby. It has winds of about 45 mph. The storm was forecast to drop heavy rain that could lead to life-threatening flooding and landslides. It was later forecast to turn northwesterly toward Belize and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
