Storm of the Month
|
This month was very dry with no storms meeting our criteria for selection.
Since the hurricane season became so active in the second half
of the season, we thought a couple of hurricane satellite photos with
color-enhanced colder cloud tops would be appropriate. These two storms
occurred about 1 month apart and were probably the two most destructive
storms of the 1998 season. Fortunately for Mississippians, only Georges
brushed the coast while turning northeastward. Meanwhile, Mitch wreaked havoc in Central
America after surpassing the lowest pressures recorded from our infamous 1969
Mississippi storm named Camille.
These and other recent major storms can be viewed at
The National
Climatic Data Center website.
