Hurricane Ida downgraded to tropical storm off Nicaragua
Thu Nov 5, 1:22 PM ET
"The government of Nicaragua has replaced the hurricane warning with a tropical storm warning," the experts said, predicting Ida would weaken further as it moved across eastern Nicaragua and eastern Honduras in the coming days.
Ida churned onto Nicaragua earlier Thursday, unleashing strong winds and heavy rain across the eastern coast of the Central American country and forcing thousands of people out of their homes into temporary shelters.
