I was in Hurricane Charlie and I believe it was a Category 4.
The hurricane hit in late August, and the effects were felt for about a week.
That depends on what you mean by rank. In terms of rating, it was a category 5. It was the second deadliest, eighth most intense, and seventeenth costliest Atlantic hurricane on record.
It dissipated over Florida on November 5, 1998.
Mitch was a hurricane that struck Central America in the autumn of 1998, killing thousands of people in Nicaragua and Honduras.
Hurricane Mitch reached wind speeds of up to 180 mph (290 km/h) at its peak intensity in late October 1998. It was one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic basin.
Hurricane Mitch of 1998 was a category 5.
Honduras was the Latin American country affected the most by Hurricane Mitch in late October 1998. Hurricane Mitch was a category 5 hurricane.
No. While Mitch was one of the deadliest hurricanes other hurricanes have been much bigger.
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.

Not in hurricane form. However - we DID experience gale-force winds, as the remnants of Mitch crossed the Atlantic.

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.
