Tropical Storm Julia, aka category 1 Hurricane, hit the southern portion of Nicaragua's Caribbean coast a couple of days ago. Landfall seems to have been Kukra Hill.
There was extensive damage there and in Pearl Lagoon (north of Kukra Hill) and in Bluefields and El Bluff (south of Kukra Hill.
And there was damage at False Bluff.
The end of the 2022 hurricane season has inflicted a lot of damage in a lot of places and we feel both lucky and relieved that though there was damage at False Bluff it was relatively minor.
One side note is the incredible root system of the coconut palm tree that makes it such a survivor. Coconut palms are, indeed, lost. In fact we lost this one....but coconut trees put up a hell of a fight.
