MANAGUA, NICARAGUA — Tropical storm Ida formed in the southwestern Caribbean on Wednesday, quickly gaining muscle and prompting storm warnings for the coast of Nicaragua and two Colombian islands.
Nicaraguan authorities readied shelters, saying evacuations were likely in the coastal city of Bluefields and the towns of Laguna de Perlas, Cruz de Rio Grando and Kukra Hills.
"We're taking precautions for the storm, which we expect will hit our territory on Thursday," said Lt. Col. Reinaldo Carrion, the head of Civil Defense in Bluefields. "We are ready to act."
