    Hurricane Mitch

    The deadly hurricane hit countries in the


    Carribean betweeen the 22nd of October and the
    5th of November 1998. It started up in the middle
    of the Carribean Sea and then travelled North-
    East, to pass over the Central American
    Countries of Honduras, El Salvador and
    Guatemala, before dying out over Mexico. It then
    headed Northwrds to hit Florida, picking up
    strength in Bay of Campeche.

    The hurricane was caused when the surface water


    of the Caribbean Sea rose to 27 degrees Celsius.
    The air above the sea was very humid which
    caused the air to rise and creating an area of very low pressure. The strong winds that were
    experienced were caused by the air rushing towards the low pressure, taking the place of the
    rising air. There were very strong convection currants which caused the heavy rain.

    The final death toll was not confirmed.
