Hurricane Ida Path,Hurricane Ida: At least 42 people have been killed in El Salvador following three days of torrential rains caused by Hurricane Ida, government officials said. The toll was expected to rise as rescue teams moved into areas that have been cut off by mudslides, Humberto Centeno, the country’s interior minister, said on Sunday.

The toll was expected to rise as rescue teams moved into areas that have been cut off by mudslides, Humberto Centeno, the country’s interior minister, said on Sunday.

A separate low pressure system may have also contributed to the rain, forecasters said.

News of the deaths came as the storm gathered strength off the coast of the Mexican resort city of Cancun on the Yucatan peninsula on Sunday.

Hurricane watch

Weather forecasters in the US predicted the storm would head towards the US later this week, where the authorities have issued a hurricane watch for the US Gulf Coast.

“A hurricane watch is in effect from Grand Isle, Louisiana to the Mississippi/Alabama border. This watch does not include the city of New Orleans [Louisiana],” a statement from the US National Hurricane Centre said.

“A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area … generally within 36 hours.”

Forecasters declared Ida a hurricane on Thursday as it passed off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, bringing heavy rains and destroying homes.

The rains caused thousands of people to seek shelter out of the storm’s path.

The storm weakened into a tropical storm before reaching hurricane status again late on Saturday with sustained winds of near 145kph, US forecasters said.

Taylor Swift played host and musical guest of the season’s best SNL, and the country-crossover sensation did so with grace and dignity by not mentioning all of the things we were dying to hear—well, sort of.

Swift wrote a little ditty to kick off the show called “Monologue Song (La, La, La),” in which the star serenaded the world by discussing the things she would not be…discussing.

Like little ol’ Kanye-gate, perhaps? “You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye [West],” crooned Swift. “But there’s nothing more to say because everything’s okay…I’ve got security lining the stage,” the songstress teased as Bill Hader and Jason Sudekis joined her side.

And Joe Jonas got it worse. “You might think I’d bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone, but I’m not gonna mention him in my monologue,” Swift continued with a grin, “Joe, I’m doing real well—tonight I’m hosting SNL!”

Swift all but confirmed her status with rumored love Taylor Lautner, singing: “And if you’re wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from Twilight,” then stopping to wave at the camera, mouthing “Hi Taylor,” and blowing him a kiss.

Outside of the tween realm, watch Swift take on the ultimate role: rocking the Kate Gosselin wig in The View sketch.
