MANAGUA (Reuters) - Hurricane Ida slammed into Nicaragua's Caribbean coast on Thursday after dumping heavy rain on little-developed offshore islands where hundreds of people were evacuated from flimsy homes.

At 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT) Ida was located about 75 miles north of the port of Bluefields, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, pounding the remote Miskito coast region with near 75 mph winds.

General Mario Perez-Cassar, Nicaragua's civil defense chief, said strong winds ripped roofs and knocked out power in Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island, some 50 miles northeast of Bluefields, home to shrimp and lobster fishermen.

"They are without power, all the electric lines are down, there are trees on the roads and no running water," Perez-Cassar told local television.

The Miami-based NHC said Ida could produce up to 20 inches of rain as it moves over eastern Nicaragua and into Honduras, risking dangerous flash floods and mud slides, but forecast it would likely weaken to a tropical storm later in the day.

Nicaragua and Honduras are key coffee exporters, and harvesting has been under way since October, but farms are mainly in mountainous areas further inland.

Persistent heavy rain could knock ripe cherries off coffee trees if it moves inland, however, and mudslides could cut off roads to coffee farms, Luis Osorio, technical director at the national coffee council, said on Wednesday.

Ida was moving northwest at close to 6 mph and the NHC's forecast showed it passing over Central America and regaining strength by Monday off Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. That could take it into the oil and gas-rich Gulf of Mexico.

Nearly 2,000 people in the Corn Islands and Sandy Bay were evacuated to shelters. "We are expecting serious impact on infrastructure," Perez-Cassar said.

HURRICANE RICK UPDATE PROJECTED PATH

HURRICANE RICK is currently classed as a very dangerous Category 4 Hurricane and may well reach Category 5 shortly. This would make Hurricane Rick the worst Hurricane seen in the Eastern Pacific this Hurricane season.

With Hurricane Season almost over, Hurricane Rick may very well bring the season out with a bang. At this time, forcasters feel Hurricane Rick will follow the coastline and with any luck, the Eye of Hurricane Rick will not hit land. Although, by the looks of the projected Path of Hurricane Rick, Hurricane Rick is headed for the southern Baja, an area frequently ravaged by hurricanes this year.

The Southern coast of Mexico, is also expected to see some large swells, as a result of the Hurricane force winds of HURRICANE RICK. These swells are forcasted to result in dangerous Surf conditions.

English Translation, by the looks of the various satellite images of TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE, TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE is heading in the direction of the British Islands. TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE, however, is expected to weaken and be absorbed into another lowe pressure region to the SW of England by Tuesday. So, at this point, there is no need for concern for those living in England, TROPICAL STORM /HURRICANE GRACE will most likely not be sending any HURRICANE FORCE WINDS into your area.

TYPHOON PARMA - SUPER TYPHOON to devastate Philippines

Days after one storm left hundreds dead and most of Manila under water, the Philippines was bracing itself Thursday for the impact of a super typhoon TYPHOON PARMA gathering pace in the western Pacific.
TYPHOON PARMA is expected to bring heavy rainfall and major property damage to the Philippines on Saturday, according to meteorologists.

TYPHOON PARMA was upgraded to a super typhoon Thursday as it churned towards the island nation with winds of 240 kph (150 mph). TYPHOON PARMA was about 600 miles (965 km) southeast of Manila, the Philippines' capital on Thursday afternoon.

The five-day tracking map shows TYPHOON PARMA south of Taiwan on Monday.

TYPHOON PARMA comes on the heels of Typhoon Ketsana, which left at least 246 people dead as it passed over the Philippines over the weekend. An additional 38 were still missing, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said

TYPHOON KETSANA affected nearly 2 million people and forced the evacuation of 567,000. At one point, 80 percent of the capital, Manila, was under water after experiencing the heaviest rainfall in 40 years.

TYPHOON KETSANA, downgraded Wednesday to a tropical depression, also killed at least 74 people in Vietnam and nine in Cambodia.

A major clean-up operation continued Thursday as Filipinos set to work repairing the damage caused by Ketsana.

In the city of Pasig -- part of metropolitan Manila -- enterprising residents used inflatable mattresses as makeshift boats to ferry people through flooded streets.


The government, which some people said did not act quickly enough, opened up part of the presidential palace for aid distribution.

Several nations have offered humanitarian assistance to the Philippines. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the organization was considering an emergency appeal for aid as several U.N. agencies also pledged support. The World Food Program said it will provide rations to 180,000 people.

MANILA HIT HARD as TROPICAL STORM KETSANA - TYPHOON ONDOY 2009 FLOODS PHILIPINES

Tropical Storm Ketsana is roaring through the Philippines and leaving chaos in its' wake. Philippine officials are reporting at least 106 people dead or missing as a result of the flooding in Manila.

Tropical Storm Ketsana - TYPHOON ONDOY battered the northern Philippines near Manila on Saturday, pouring torrential amounts of rain in just 12 hours consequently setting off the worst flooding in the Philippine capital in more than 42 years.

Philipino Woman finds safety from 2009 Manila Flood on Mattress

Philipine Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro reports army troops, police and civilian volunteers rescued more than 5,000 people - many of them were found feverishly holding onto each other as they sat on roofs and on top of buses after Tropical Storm Ketsana - TYPHOON ONDOY hit the Philipines on Saturday.

Among those dead as a result of Tropical Storm Ketsana - TYPHOON ONDOY, an Army soldier and four militiamen drowned while trying to rescue villagers in southern Laguna province.

Rescuers increased their efforts on Sunday as the skies over Manila started to clear and the rain started to let up.

The Philipine government declared a State of Emergency in metropolitan Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces, allowing Philipine officials to utilize emergency funds for the relief and rescue efforts over Tropical Storm Ketsana - TYPHOON ONDOY. Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said.

Distress calls and e-mails from thousands of residents in metropolitan Manila and their worried relatives flooded TV and radio stations overnight.

Ketsana swamped entire towns, set off landslides and shut down Manila's airport for several hours.

Military Chief General Victor Ibrado, accompanied by journalists, flew over several suburban Manila towns on Sunday on board air force helicopters and saw many people still waiting to be rescued on roofs of their houses in flooded villages.

The sun shone briefly in Manila on Sunday and showed the extent of devastation in many neighborhoods - destroyed houses, overturned vans and cars, and streets and highways covered in debris and mud.

"The water was rolling and everything happened in a flash, every minute it was rising. So I said to myself if this reaches the second floor of our house then a lot of people here would die," said resident Ronald Manlangit after watching the flood water rapidly rise up the side of his home.

The 16.7 inches of rain that swamped metropolitan Manila in just 12 hours on Saturday exceeded the 15.4-inch average for September, Cruz said, adding that the rainfall broke the previous record of 13.2 inches in a 24-hour period in June 1967.

Rubbish-choked drains and waterways, along with high tide, compounded the problem, officials said.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had to take an elevated commuter train to the disaster council office to preside over a meeting Saturday because roads were clogged by vehicles stuck in the floodwaters.

Ketsana, which packed winds of 53 miles per hour with gusts of up to 63 mph, hit land early on Saturday then roared across the main northern Luzon island toward the South China Sea.

Tropical Storm Linda, on the other hand, is forming off the Baja and seems to be pulling some strength from the remnants of HURRICANE JIMENA. At first glance, TROPICAL STORM LINDA looks quite small, however a simple glance to the North East shows a long tail which stretches towards land. Once this is pulled into the vortex of Tropical Storm Linda, she should become a strong force to be reckoned with
