Tropical Storm Carla

Tropical Storm Carl was a tropical cyclone that brought dangerous winds and torrential rain the Louisiana and Central America. As a result, it caused 573 fatalities and over 2 billion dollars in damage. It is one of the weaker storms in the hyperactive and dangerous 2023 Atlantic hurricane season.



Impact
Though only a tropical storm, Carl brought devastating rain and wind to Nicaragua and Honduras. Its landfall and path worsened the situation, as the most affected areas were exclusive and far away from populated areas. Carl also hit Louisiana and brought only torrential rain and some damage caused by winds to the United States.

Nicaragua
Carl brought lots of rain to Nicaragua's exclusive areas, including the mountains and hills. This created over fifty landslides, further worsening the damage of the storm. Since it directly hit exclusive areas, it took many weeks for emergency personnel to arrive with humanitarian aid. That gravely worsened the situation, and further increased the fatalities and damages.
