Lisa’s maximum sustained winds reached 105 kph on Tuesday afternoon, while it moved westward at a speed of 24 kph, according to the NHC.A hurricane warning was in effect for all of Belize’s coast and Guatemala’s northern Atlantic coast, where the NHC warned residents to rush preparations to “protect life and property.”
