Hundreds of people were evacuated from flimsy homes on the Corn Islands, near the port of Bluefields, as Ida drenched the remote Miskito coast with heavy rain. By 10 p.m. EST (0300 GMT on Friday), Ida's maximum winds had slowed to near 35 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said heavy rainfall was a major concern and warned of floods and mudslides. "These rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides," the Miami-based center said. The storm was heading north-northwest about 50 miles west-southwest of the port of Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua. Ida is expected to regain strength after it moves back over the Caribbean sea on Saturday, and could enter the oil- and gas-rich Gulf of Mexico next week. FIERCE 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, 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 NHC said Ida could produce up to 20 inches of rain as it moves over eastern Nicaragua and into Honduras. Nicaragua and Honduras are important 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 the storm moves inland, however, and mudslides could cut off roads to coffee farms, Luis Osorio, technical director at the national coffee council, said on Wednesday. Nicaragua is also a key sugar grower, but plantations are nearer the Pacific coast, well away from the storm's path, and growers did not expect a serious impact on production. At worst the harvest, due to start on November 11, could be delayed a few days by rain, said Mario Amador, head of the national sugar producers' association. He added that Nicaragua should have no problem filling its sugar export quotas to Mexico, which faces a shortfall this year. Nearly 2,000 people in the Corn Islands and Sandy Bay were evacuated to shelters before Ida hit. "We are expecting serious impact on infrastructure," Perez-Cassar said.
