TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras —
Heavy flooding kept more than 15,000 people Wednesday from returning to homes swamped by three days of storms. At least 110 people have died and 263 are missing, authorities said.
President Rafael L. Callejas announced preparations for a state of emergency in an 8,400-square-mile area in the northern Atlantic provinces of Yoro and Colon.
He said experts estimated that damages will exceed $60 million.
The Red Cross appealed for international assistance.
