ROATAN, Honduras – What was once Tropical Storm Sara continues to weaken and was downgraded to a tropical depression on Sunday afternoon after the deadly, late-season storm slammed portions of Central America with torrential rain that led to catastrophic flooding and mudslides.With atmospheric steering currents in near total collapse, Sara had been essentially adrift while it streamed a constant river of tropical moisture into the vulnerable countryside. The National Hurricane Center said the center of the storm moved only 10 miles over a 15-hour period between midday Friday and Saturday morning.  FLORIDA, GULF COAST TO SEE POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM TROPICAL STORM SARAThe slow-moving storm combined with the steep terrain of the region is a destructive combination that has led to feet of rain falling in short periods of time.Honduras’ emergency management agency said one person drowned in Yoro, and over 1,100 homes have been damaged or destroyed across the nation. More than 71,000 people have suffered some impacts from Sara with more than 2,000 rescues so far, government agencies said. Over 40 inches of rain have fallen in parts of Honduras since Thursday, and the swollen Cangrajal River swept away part of the Saopin bridge.HOW TO WATCH FOX WEATHERSara officially briefly made its first landfall Thursday evening, but its center of circulation reemerged in the Gulf of Honduras on Saturday and made another landfall in Belize on Sunday.This video by Honduras’s national police shows road conditions as officers patrolled the town.DOWNLOAD THE FREE FOX WEATHER APPTravel around the region has also been impacted.
