SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (AP) — Tropical Storm Sara has made landfall in Belize, where forecasters expect heavy rain to cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. The storm moved inland in Belize Sunday, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center. Earlier, the storm drenched the northern coast of Honduras, where it stalled since Friday, swelling rivers and trapping some people at home. The Hurricane Center’s tropical storm warning includes portions of Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico’s state of Quintana Roo. The storm could drop up to 5 inches of rain across the area, with localized totals reaching 15 inches.
