TEGUCIGALPA/MEXICO CITY—Storm Iota unleashed devastating floods across Central America on Wednesday in areas already waterlogged, forcing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes in a disaster that could spur migration to the United States.

More than 30 people were killed and the toll in the impoverished region was expected to rise as rescue workers reach isolated communities.
