Hurricane Mitch

by Aldo Garcia

On October 26 and 27, 1998, the massive storm roared into the region with sustained winds of 180 mph. More than 10,000 died in the flooding. An estimated 1.5 million were left homeless.

Hurricane Mitch had affected mostly Central American countries, but even years after the incident many were still fighting the aftermath of what the hurricane had left behind. Leaving millions in shelters, trying to recover with supplies, and find lost loved ones as well.
