Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Hurricane Eta was battering portions of Nicaragua on Tuesday morning, as it made landfall as a strong Category 4 storm that will likely lead to several days of flooding in parts of Central America. Power will be lost for thousands of people as a result of downed trees and damage to electrical infrastructure.
There are very few industrial plants in the area, but four power plants were in the direct path of the storm, with a combined generation capacity of 94 megawatts (MW).
Hurricane Eta is forecast to reenter the Caribbean by the end of the week, with many models suggesting it will pass over Cuba next week. No projections of where it will go after Cuba have been outlined as of yet, but there is a potential that the storm could turn and impact Florida.
Industrial Info's research teams will continue to monitor the progress of this storm as it reenters the Caribbean to understand its potential impact on Cuba and the U.S.
Industrial Info's researchers continue to monitor the storm's progress and report on plant closures in the Disaster Impact Tracker tool as they are confirmed. For more information on the Disaster Impact Tracker, click here.
