Iota reached northeastern Nicaragua late on Monday with sustained winds of nearly 155 miles per hour (250 kmh). It is expected to weaken after moving westward into neighboring Honduras, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Puerto Cabezas, still partly flooded and strewn with debris from the force of Hurricane Eta two weeks ago, again bore the brunt of the storm. Iota was also the first category 5 storm of the hurricane season before losing a little wind speed off the coast to reach land as a category 4. "We don't have food, but we are going to wait here for the hurricane that we're asking God to stop from coming," he said.
