Managua, Nicaragua ? Hurricane Beta swirled onto Nicaragua’s remote Caribbean coastline Sunday, ripping off roofs, toppling trees, provoking floods, and causing four rivers to overflow in Honduras before weakening to a tropical storm.

No deaths were immediately reported, but several people were injured earlier when Beta hit the Colombian island of Providencia.

Beta, the record 13th hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season, came ashore near the remote Nicaraguan town of Sandy Bay Sirpi, 200 miles northeast of Managua, as a category 2 hurricane with 105 mph winds, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

It weakened to a tropical storm as it moved inland, and was expected to continue losing strength and weaken to a tropical depression, though forecasters said it could dump 10 to 15 inches of rain across Nicaragua and eastern Honduras, with up to 25 inches possible in some areas.

“These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides,” the hurricane center warned.

While powerful, Beta was a small storm, with its initial hurricane-force winds extending outward only about 15 miles. At 6 p.m. CST, it had top winds of 40 mph and was about 85 miles northwest of the coastal town of Bluefields. The Nicaraguan government discontinued all coastal warnings, according the hurricane center.

Nicaragua’s army chief, Gen. Omar Halleslevens, told reporters in the capital that Beta had destroyed or damaged some houses, ripped off building roofs, knocked down trees and caused some flooding. He said it also damaged at least one pier.

Two men push a motorcycle through floodwaters during heavy rains from Hurricane Beta Sunday in La Ceiba, Honduras. Authorities evacuated more than 7,800 people from 50 communities in Honduras after four rivers overflowed.

“No one was injured, no one was killed, thank God,” President Enrique Bolanos said.

Ten people who had been reported missing after their boat disappeared off the coastal city of Puerto Cabezas were later found alive, emergency officials said.

In Honduras, authorities evacuated more than 7,800 people Sunday from 50 communities north of the Nicaraguan border after four rivers overflowed.

Strong winds knocked down signs, fences, trees and electricity and telephone poles, cutting off power and communication in hundreds of communities and at least two highways were blocked, said the country’s disaster response chief, Hugo Arevalo.

Flooding damaged rice, corn and bean fields. High waters also sent snakes out of the jungle into residential areas.

Before coming ashore, Beta lashed the Colombian island of Providencia with heavy winds, torrential rains and high surf. At least 30 people were injured on the tiny island about 125 miles off Nicaragua’s coast, officials said.
