The hurricane center updated, echoing the predicted damage severity for areas in Central America and that Eta gained strength while approaching northeastern Nicaragua, according to a Tuesday morning tweet.
“A wind gust to 74 mph (119 km/h) has been reported at the Puerto Cabezas Airport, Nicaragua,” according to a National Hurricane Center statement from early Tuesday morning. The statement also noted the severity of the storm and echoed the same damage severity predictions in Tuesday’s tweets.
There are now 28 hurricanes around the world, Hurricane Eta among them, that have been named in the 2020 season, matching 2005’s record setting number, The New York Post reported.
“It is far too early to know if Eta will ever reach the United States, let alone what impacts would be felt. The official NHC forecast goes out through five days,” Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the National Hurricane Center, told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email.
