Hurricane Mitch

Hurricane Mitch. Coloured three-dimensional computer image, based on satellite data, of Hurricane Mitch (white cloud swirl, upper right). Mountainous areas of Central America (green) are brown. The hurricane is off the coast of Honduras (centre, mostly obscured). North is at top. The hurricane produced winds of over 200 miles per hour and heavy rain that caused flooding and land- slides. Over 11, 000 people were killed and damage was estimated at 5 billion dollars. This image, based on data from an American GOES satellite, shows the hurricane at 13:15 on 26 October 1998, three days before it made landfall on Honduras

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and devastation of Hurricane Mitch, a catastrophic storm that wreaked havoc on Central America in 1998. The three-dimensional computer image, created using satellite data, vividly portrays the immense scale of this natural disaster. In the upper right corner, a swirling mass of white clouds represents the hurricane itself. With winds exceeding 200 miles per hour, this formidable force of nature unleashed its fury upon Honduras, as depicted by its obscured presence near the center of the image. The mountainous regions of Central America are portrayed in varying shades of brown against a backdrop of lush greenery. The aftermath left behind by Hurricane Mitch was nothing short of catastrophic. Over 11,000 lives were tragically lost due to heavy rain-induced flooding and devastating landslides. The damage caused by this relentless storm was estimated at a staggering $5 billion dollars. Captured here at 13:15 on October 26th, 1998 - merely three days before it made landfall - this image serves as a chilling reminder of both the raw power and destructive capabilities inherent within severe weather systems like hurricanes. It stands as a testament to humanity's ongoing efforts to understand meteorology and mitigate such disasters through advancements in science and technology.
