10 year anniversary of Hurricane Mitch
« on: October 26, 2008, 07:59:06 AM »
This week will mark 10 years since Hurricane Mitch, the second deadliest hurricane on record, made landfall on Central America. While I barely remember this hurricane, it caused more than 11,000 deaths and several thousand more reported missing. Does anyone else here remember Mitch?

I remember watching extensive news coverage from TWC regarding Mitch. I can't believe it was a Cat 5 at landfall.
