Resurgent Tropical Storm Threatens Caribbean

The tropical storm I told you about earlier in the week has had a busy few days. The tropical depression that formed off the coast of Nicaragua grew into Tropical Storm Ida and then a minor Category 1 hurricane, came ashore in Nicaragua, weakened back to a tropical storm and then a tropical depression.

You might think that was the end of it. But, no. Ida has now emerged into the northwestern Caribbean Sea and is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm or hurricane again. Forecasters now say the storm could hit the Yucatan Peninsula in the Mexican Caribbean and possibly affect western Cuba. No storm warnings have yet been issued -- I'll keep you posted if they are.
