 TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) - Steady rains have prevented emergency aid from reaching Hurricane Beta victims on Honduras' Atlantic coast, keeping thousands in shelters there and in neighboring Nicaragua, authorities said Wednesday.
Beta made landfall Sunday on Nicaragua's central coast, dumping up to 15 inches of rain there and in neighboring Honduras.
No deaths or serious injuries were reported in either country but the storm flooded dozens of communities, damaged hundreds of buildings, and destroyed crops throughout the region. Thousands of people remained in shelters in both Nicaragua and Honduras.
