Tropical Storm Sara has made landfall in Belize, where forecasters expect heavy rain to cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides.

Tropical Storm Sara made its second landfall in Belize on Sunday morning, and forecasters say it should continue to move inland and dissipate as it produces torrential rain leading to catastrophic flooding.
