Honduras took the brunt of the hit.
No. For one thing, a storm that strikes Japan will be called a typhoon, not a hurricane. Hurricane Mitch was in the Atlantic hurricane basin, and had its worst impacts in the Central American countries of Honduras and Nicaragua.
Honduras has been hit by approximately 13 hurricanes since 2000, with Hurricane Mitch in 1998 being one of the most devastating. The country is vulnerable to these natural disasters due to its geographical location in the path of many storms.
The deadliest hurricane to hit Honduras was Hurricane Fifi. It hit the country in September 1974 as a Category 2 hurricane. It had 110 mile per hour winds which resulted in between 8,000 and 10,000 fatalities.
Mitch was a hurricane that struck Central America in the autumn of 1998, killing thousands of people in Nicaragua and Honduras.
Hurricane Mitch hit several Central American countries including Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Belize in late October and early November of 1998. These countries experienced devastating flooding, landslides, and strong winds as a result of the hurricane.
