At least 130 people have been killed in Nicaragua after Hurricane Felix tore over
Central America's Caribbean.
A Nigerian rescue official Friday said 130 bodies have been found in neighbouring Honduras.
He said around 70 people were missing after high waves drowned fishermen and battered coastal villages.
Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua's president, visited the northern coast earlier Friday as a US navy ship, US helicopters and an aircraft carrying Venezuelan food aid arrived to help the rescue effort.
Bodies washed up on beaches and fishermen reported bodies of people still tied to trees in a vain bid to stay safe from winds of over two hundred kilometers per hour.
Felix mainly hit the turtle-fishing Miskitos Indians, about 35,000 of them live in Honduras and more than 100,000 in Nicaragua.
