TELA, Honduras, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Wading through waist-deep water, residents along the northern coast of Honduras trudged through the streets on Friday carrying their belongings and pets, as heavy rains from Tropical Storm Sara caused widespread flooding across the area.

Tropical Storm Sara has started moving slightly faster after stalling over Honduras, drenching the northern coast of the Central American nation, swelling rivers and trapping some people at home.

Tropical Storm Sara, a disorganized mass of rain and thunderstorms, was slowly meandering along the northern coast of Honduras on Friday morning, after making landfall near the Honduras-Nicaragua border late Thursday.
