His city of San Pedro Sula in northern Honduras was one of the areas worst hit by Eta and Hurricane Iota, which struck just two weeks later, deepening the economic hardship caused by the coronavirus pandemic in Central America.
Castro, 34, worked as a barber from his home, which was destroyed in the storms. He is now considering following thousands of Hondurans before him who saw emigration north as a way out of poverty.

Ical Chen, 49, grabbed her husband and six small children and ran, barely surviving a fall into a ravine, she told Reuters in Chicuz, a hamlet three hours on foot from Queja, where she and hundreds of other survivors are now sheltered in a primary school after Thursday’s disaster.
“My mother was buried, along with my sisters, their husbands, the whole family, even the grandparents,” Ical Chen said though an interpreter, counting approximately 30 family members who did not escape the mud that rescuers say is up to 50 feet (15 meters) deep.

Dozens could be buried in Guatemala as Eta dumps torrential rain

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Dozens of people are possibly buried in their homes in central Guatemala, local officials said on Thursday, after torrential rains unleashed by former Hurricane Eta inundated large swathes of Central America over the past couple of days.
Guatemala’s disaster relief agency Conred said in a statement that 15 homes in the town of San Cristobal Verapaz, located about 120 miles (193 km) north of Guatemala City, have “probably” been covered by mudslides, possibly affecting some 75 people.
Eta, which as since weakened to a tropical depression, has dumped heavy rains and caused catastrophic flooding in Central America, killing at least 18 people and turning streets into waist-high water channels.

Analysis: Adaptation no longer 'Cinderella' of climate action - but barriers remain

5 Min Read
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Efforts to adapt to worsening climate change impacts are no longer playing “Cinderella” to better-financed work to cut emissions - but big obstacles still stand in the way of staying safer from climate threats, adaptation experts said on Thursday.
Those range from inadequate investment in adaptation work, to over-zealous accountability mechanisms for public spending and a failure to include local people in developing plans and judging their success, they told an online discussion.
Too many poor countries, meanwhile, are waiting to receive donor cash to adapt to more extreme weather and rising seas, when rethinking their own spending could also play a role, said Tom Mitchell, chief strategy officer for Climate-KIC, a European Union-funded climate innovation initiative.
