Hurricane Iota fell to Category 1 strength after tearing into Nicaragua Monday night with Category 4 gusts, bringing with it dangerous flood waters and catastrophic winds to an already storm-beaten area. The National Hurricane Center is tracking Iota's progress while simultaneously monitoring a low pressure system with odds of becoming the 31st named system of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season.
Iota began terrorizing Nicaragua with its dangerous winds just 15 miles south of where Hurricane Eta made landfall two weeks earlier. Eta was responsible for the loss of 120 lives many of whom died in mudslides and flash flooding.
