Strong winds caused by Tropical Storm Alma strike palm tree and homes in Poneloya town, some 75 miles (120 km) west of Managua, May 29, 2008. Alma, the first cyclone of the Americas hurricane season, slammed into Nicaragua’s Pacific coast on Thursday, killing one person as winds toppled trees and ripped roofs off flimsy homes.
