I remember Mitch. I knew an American couple that were living on an Island off of Central American and they were in that hurricane for the better part of a week. It just wouldn't go away.

We vacationed on the island of Roatan, just off the Honduran coast, a week after Mitch swept through the area. The devastation was very apparent both on the island and the mainland. Most noticible to us was the utter destruction of crops and natural foliage.Beneath the ocean's surface, all the hard corals on the shallow (35 feet aprx.) reefs were destroyed. The people were still dealing with a lot of standing water, mud, and the insects were abundant.
