Mitch killed 10,000 people in 1998 with 180 mph sustained winds at its peak if my memory is right. Similar path and time of year to this. Pretty sure the models didn't get the path right on Mitch - have to watch for that in the coming days. 

Mitch was down to a 1 by landfall, though. It was all rainfall-induced landslides.

Mitch did not hit this same area on this same path as Eta.  Mitch went north of Honduras and then turned south and made landfall in central north coast of Honduras and then meandered around.

New VDM. Mesovortices. Would like to see the radar loop if they can put it up on twitter after the mission.

Mitch hit a fairly populated coast compared with where Eta's going - there's nothing on the Mosquito coast but snakes, crocks and Dengue fever.  Amazing tarpon fishing but that's beside the point.  Unfortunately, however, Eta has apparently set its sights on the one population center in the entire region.  There are about 60-70,000 people right in the target area.
