Hurricane Ana

Before the Panama Papers scandal landed on this equatorial isthmus with hurricane force, the little country had been riding high. It boasted one of the fastest growth rates in Latin America last year, above 6 percent.

Tropical storm Ana barreled toward the US southeastern coast on Saturday, threatening flooding, high winds and life-threatening tides in the region, forecasters warned.

Hurricane Ana was on course to miss Hawaii while generating strong winds and heavy rains that prompted flash-flood warnings and lured surfers with high waves.

Hurricane Ana was carving a path south of Hawaii early on Saturday, producing high waves, strong winds and heavy rains that prompted a flood advisory.

Tropical Storm Ana, swirling in the central Pacific Ocean, was upgraded to hurricane status on Friday but forecasters said they now believe the storm will drift some 100 miles to the south and miss the Hawaiian Islands.

Tropical Storm Ana weakened unexpectedly as it churned across the central Pacific, but meteorologists said the storm was still forecast to gain strength and hit Hawaii in what could be its first hurricane in more than two decades.
