2020, the year that just keeps giving. Wow. Thanks Levi. I really feel for the people of Central America & Mexico. :(

My husband, who has studied some Greek, says Iota is pronounced “e-ota”. Great coverage!

Levi Cowan is a class act.

Belize and Honduras has a history of these late storms turning south Hattie 1962 and Mitch 1998

Watching from Guatemala City, hoping it dies down as ETA was devasting in the center of Guatemala, flooding and land slides, 150 dead :(

Thanks Levi. Still trying to dry out in central Florida after 8" of rain in the last storm.

Bummer, now we have to wait until next tropical cyclone season. What does Dr. Cowan do during his extended vacation?

This certainly looks like it might pass right over the Isthmus and reappear as a Pacific cyclone. I cannot say I've been paying a lot of attention to the airflow in the eastern Pacific.

Thank you, Levi. I'm thinking it might get to around 140 mph or so, and possibly stronger if it stays offshore. This being contingent on how quickly an inner core can develop over the next day or two.
