Tropical Storm Lisa slowed on Thursday after making landfall in Belize, causing flooding and plunging parts of the country into darkness as it churned westwards toward Mexico.

The scariest part of hurricane season generally wraps up in late October, but the tropics are still churning into early November, a reminder that the season shouldn’t be written off just yet.

Two hurricanes formed Wednesday — Hurricane Lisa in the Caribbean and Hurricane Martin in the north-central Atlantic Ocean. It was only the third time on record that two hurricanes have been active at the same time in the 11th month of the year, according to John Feerick, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather.com.
