By Friday, November 6, Eta weakened to a tropical depression, but rains continue to cause flooding over a wide area from Panama to Guatemala.

President Alejandro Giammattei said about 300 houses were affected in Guatemala. It is expected to rain for another two days.

On Thursday, November 5, a Black Hawk US medical evacuation helicopter as part of the Bravo task force in Honduras rescued several people stranded in flood waters.

Eta is expected to intensify as it approaches the Florida Keys. New York Times.

As of Thursday evening, November 5, Eta was heading to South Florida, where it is expected to land early next week.

The intensity of the storm and its final trajectory are still inaccurate, but it was estimated to bring 15 to 20 inches (38-50 cm) of rain to Cuba, the Cayman Islands and South Florida. The National Hurricane Center model indicated that Eta would arrive in the Florida Keys by early Tuesday morning, November 10.

“Right now, the biggest problem with Eta is the terrible rainfall that continues over Central America,” said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Eta's path resembled that of Hurricane Mitch, which killed more than 1998 people in 11, mostly in Honduras and Nicaragua. Heavy rains, compounded by Mitch's slow movement across the region, caused devastating flooding and landslides.

By Monday, November 9, Eta could cross the Florida Strait, Feltgen said, stressing that the path of the storm remains uncertain.

“We're anticipating potentially heavy rainfall in South Florida and looking at potential flooding,” he said.

Eta is the 28th named storm and 12th hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began in June and ends Nov. 30.
