The hurricane Mitch (Central America 1998)

PATH OF HURRICANE MITCH

THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE

Hurricane Mitch was one of the most powerful and violent hurricanes in the history, it feached the category 5 on the scale of the hurricanes Sffir-Simpson, because of the high mortality caused, between 11,000 and 8,000 people; and the strong wind overcoming 290km/h. This hurricane caused extensive material damages too, between 6,000 and 8,000 million dollars.

Mitch was active for two weeks, from 22 October to 5 November 1998, in the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean this year. It affected all the countries of Central America, specially Nicaragua, Yucatan Peninsula, Honduras and the south of Florida Peninsula.

#HISTORY OF THE HURRICANE#

At first, the hurricane was a tropical wave from Africa, but it moved to the Caribbean Sea, where it began to form. After passing through Colombia and Jamaica and going to the west on 22 October, Mitch was considered a tropical storm and gave it name. On 24 October it became a hurricane, two days later it was very dangerous and belonged to the category 5. The pressure of Mitch went down until 905hPa. The eye of the hurricane passed through the coast of Nicaragua and was losing intensity close to Honduras. It became a tropical depression and it weakened, but there were remnants of the hurricane, so it formed again a tropical storm passing through the Gulf of Mexico.

The last time it went on land it was in Florida, but later it came to the north of Great Britain like a extratropical storm without causing damages.
