hurricane mitch was the second-deadliest atlantic hurricane on record, causing over 11,000 fatalities in central america, with over 7,000 occurring in honduras alone due to the catastrophic flooding it wrought, due to the slow motion of the storm. it was the deadliest hurricane in central america, surpassing hurricane fifi–orlene, which killed slightly fewer people there in 1974. the thirteenth named storm, ninth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 1998 atlantic hurricane season, mitch formed in the western caribbean sea on october 22, and after drifting through extremely favorable conditions, it rapidly strengthened to peak at category 5 status, the highest possible rating on the saffir–simpson hurricane scale. after drifting southwestward and weakening, the hurricane hit honduras as a minimal hurricane. mitch drifted through central america, regenerated in the bay of campeche, and ultimately struck florida as a strong tropical storm. it then became extratropical and accelerated northeastward across the north atlantic, before dissipating on november 9. at the time, mitch was the strongest atlantic hurricane observed in the month of october, though it has since been surpassed by hurricane wilma of the 2005 season. in addition, mitch is the eighth-most intense atlantic hurricane on record.
