As it approaches landfall in Central America, Eta has become a Category 4 Hurricane.
Peak 10-second average at 137 knots (157.6 mph). Very close to cat. 5. #Eta

Looks like a broad clear moat and a secondary eyewall forming on radar. #Eta https://t.co/O5tXQxz93p. pic.twitter.com/PiQKNGM85i

Devastating in Central America. Thoughts with them the next couple days. https://t.co/rhGYnchWPK
Hurricane Eta is a MONSTER storm and continues to strengthen. Eta is a strong Category 4 and could possibly be a category 5 before making landfall over NE Nicaragua. This storm will be devastating for Nicaragua…thinking of all the people preparing there tonight. :( @CBS46 pic.twitter.com/LpiRyroSxX
