MANAGUA (Reuters) - Hurricane Ida slammed into Nicaragua's Caribbean coast on Thursday after dumping heavy rain on little-developed offshore islands where hundreds of people were evacuated from flimsy homes.

At 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT) Ida was located about 75 miles north of the port of Bluefields, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, pounding the remote Miskito coast region with near 75 mph winds.

General Mario Perez-Cassar, Nicaragua's civil defense chief, said strong winds ripped roofs and knocked out power in Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island, some 50 miles northeast of Bluefields, home to shrimp and lobster fishermen.

"They are without power, all the electric lines are down, there are trees on the roads and no running water," Perez-Cassar told local television.

The Miami-based NHC said Ida could produce up to 20 inches of rain as it moves over eastern Nicaragua and into Honduras, risking dangerous flash floods and mud slides, but forecast it would likely weaken to a tropical storm later in the day.

Nicaragua and Honduras are key coffee exporters, and harvesting has been under way since October, but farms are mainly in mountainous areas further inland.

Persistent heavy rain could knock ripe cherries off coffee trees if it moves inland, however, and mudslides could cut off roads to coffee farms, Luis Osorio, technical director at the national coffee council, said on Wednesday.

Ida was moving northwest at close to 6 mph and the NHC's forecast showed it passing over Central America and regaining strength by Monday off Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. That could take it into the oil and gas-rich Gulf of Mexico.

Nearly 2,000 people in the Corn Islands and Sandy Bay were evacuated to shelters. "We are expecting serious impact on infrastructure," Perez-Cassar said.

HURRICANE RICK to reach CATEGORY 5

HURRICANE RICK is currently classed as a very dangerous Category 4 Hurricane and may well reach Category 5 shortly. This would make Hurricane Rick the worst Hurricane seen in the Eastern Pacific this Hurricane season.

With Hurricane Season almost over, Hurricane Rick may very well bring the season out with a bang. At this time, forcasters feel Hurricane Rick will follow the coastline and with any luck, the Eye of Hurricane Rick will not hit land. Although, by the looks of the projected Path of Hurricane Rick, Hurricane Rick is headed for the southern Baja, an area frequently ravaged by hurricanes this year.

The Southern coast of Mexico, is also expected to see some large swells, as a result of the Hurricane force winds of HURRICANE RICK. These swells are forcasted to result in dangerous Surf conditions.

Tropical Storm Fred & Linda may form Hurricanes

There are two current active storm fronts, one in the Atlantic, and one in the Pacific. Tropical Storm Fred is forming in the eastern Atlantic and has plenty of time to form into Hurricane Fred as he moves along his projected path.

Tropical Storm Linda, on the other hand, is forming off the Baja and seems to be pulling some strength from the remnants of HURRICANE JIMENA. At first glance, TROPICAL STORM LINDA looks quite small, however a simple glance to the North East shows a long tail which stretches towards land. Once this is pulled into the vortex of Tropical Storm Linda, she should become a strong force to be reckoned with

HURRICANE BILL is still a Category 2 HURRICANE with sustained wind speeds of 100 MPH or 160KPH. HURRICANE FORCE winds are being recorded 85 Miles or 140 KM from the Eye of HURRICANE BILL.

Large swells generated by HURRICANE BILL are still hitting the Bahamas, Bermuda and approaching the SE Coast of the United States. Points further north up into the Atlantic Maritime Provinces of Canada will start to see large swells from HURRICANE BILL later today and through the weekend. Weather officials are continuing to warn individuals to stay out of the water as the swells from HURRICANE BILL will likely cause life threatening rip currents

There is no further major development in the possibility of the weather system currently following HURRICANE BILL. There has been some growth and it may in fact become Tropical Storm Danny.

Meanwhile, the weather system in the Eastern Pacific is getting a little stronger and is one step closer to becoming TROPICAL STORM HILDA which may lead to HURRICANE HILDA.

Those living in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Conneticut, New York (particularly Long Island, the Hamptons and Montauk), Virgina, North Carolina and all point inbetween are being warned to keep an eye on weather reports as HURRICANE BILL will pass through their area's. The NOAA is warning, although HURRICANE BILL has been downgraded to a Category 2, he is still very dangerous and will cause substantial damage from high winds and tidal swells.

Surfers are also being warned to stay out of the high tidal waters regardless of how tempting HURRICANE BILL's massive waves are. Fact of the matter is, these waves are deadly and are filled with hidden dangers.

In the Eastern Pacific, HURRICANE TRACKERS are keeping an eye on three storms which are brewing off the Baja coast. At this time, these is a high probability of over 50% that one of these storms will develop into HURRICANE HILDA, or at the very least TROPICAL STORM HILDA.

In addition, a Tropical Depression is forming to the East of the Gulf of Mexico. If it continues to grow, HURRICANE BILL may very well be followed by TROPICAL STORM DANNY or HURRICANE DANNY.

HURRICANE BILL VERY DANGEROUS - TRACKER NOAA UPDATE

The NOAA Weather Service has just upgraded HURRICANE BILL to a category 4 HURRICANE with sustained wind speeds of 135 MPH or 215 KM/Hr. According to the HURRICANE TRACKER, HURRICANE BILL is currently heading through the Leeward Islands and High wave warnings are in effect for the Leeward Islands, Bermuda and the South Eastern Coast of the United States.

At this point, it looks like the Florida Panhandle and Gulf of Mexico will be missed by HURRICANE BILL as the eye of HURRICANE BILL is expected to move more Northward aiming for the North central coast of the United States with a potential move towards South Eastern Canada.

There is a moderate change Tropical Force winds resulting from HURRICANE BILL will effect the entire Eastern seaboard of North America over the next few days, as HURRICANE BILL moves northward.

The chance of the eye of HURRICANE BILL reaching Canada is moderate but still there. At the current time, it looks like Nova Scotia is right on the path of HURRICANE BILL.
