TELA, Honduras, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Wading through waist-deep water, residents along the northern coast of Honduras trudged through the streets on Friday carrying their belongings and pets, as heavy rains from Tropical Storm Sara caused widespread flooding across the area.

At least one person has died and numerous others were stranded without supplies after Tropical Storm Sara hit Central America. Rain bands stalled for days over northern Honduras, creating dangerous flash flooding conditions and water rescues.

Tropical Storm Sara has started moving slightly faster after stalling over Honduras, drenching the northern coast of the Central American nation, swelling rivers and trapping some people at home.
