Hurricane Beta Slams Into Nicaraguan Coast
From the AP:
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct. 30 -- Hurricane Beta swirled onto Nicaragua's central Caribbean coast Sunday, ripping off roofs, toppling trees and flooding low-lying neighborhoods before weakening to a tropical storm. Heavy rain in Honduras caused four rivers to overflow and damaged farm crops.
No deaths or injuries were immediately reported, but officials said about 10 people were believed missing after trying to escape the storm by boat.
