On May 29 (yesterday), hurricane Alma battered the west coast of Nicaragua causing flooding in the streets of the capital Managua.

At least one man was killed when a powerline snapped and electrocuted him. I can not find any other reports of casualties from public media sources right now.

Apparently the storm grew very quickly and caught many observers and residents by surprise.
