The nearby airstrip on Guatemala was also unaffected. Inland, IHT said the hardest hit areas were Tegucigalpa and the San Pedro Sula area. Tegucigalpa suffered greatly when heavy rains collapsed a neighborhood into the Choluteca River, forming a lake that inundated the downtown area. Tegucigalpa was cut off from the rest of the country by damage to roads and bridges. The infrastructure of basic services like electricity and water survived with some damage, and the city is working to clean up.
Traffic is likely to be an issue for some time with the number of missing bridges.
Access to nearby tourism destinations, such as Valle de Angeles and Santa Lucia, has been restored. In the San Pedro Sula Area, widespread flooding destroyed much of the agricultural base of the region, IHT said. The international airport was flooded, damaging some of the electronic equipment used in communicating with aircraft. The North Coast suffered varying degrees of impact from the storm, read the report. On the west end, Puerto Cortes suffered little damage.
