This particular storm happened as any other hurricane does - for the natural reasons that begin with a warm tropical ocean and a favorable atmospheric environment to develop. As it crossed the Atlantic, it continued to encounter these favorable conditions of warm water and low wind shear, and it continued to strengthen. The upper atmospheric patterns were such that it took a particularly destructive path through Central America. This was a very destructive storm, and there will be storms in the future that will match its strength and wreak havoc in the same places. This is the nature of the climate in these parts of the world.

∙ 11y agoHurricane Mitch effected people because the place was very poor. This means it was hard to rebuild everything after. Also the hurricane caused floods so it was hard for the people to be safe. :)
