Most Intense Tropical Storms, 1997
|
|
This poster includes images and information for 10 typhoons, 2 cyclones, and 2 hurricanes. Hurricanes Linda and Guillermo were the only western-hemisphere storms to surpass 128 knots average wind speed. Super Typhoon Paka lasted a rarely seen duration of twenty days. Cyclone Pancho-Helinda travelled nearly the entire width of the Indian Ocean. Size: 24x36 inches.

Most Intense Tropical Storms, 1998
|
|
Although 1998 produced fewer tropical storms than the average, the storms were particularly intense. The destructive power of these storms was evident in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch. Thousands of lives and homes were destroyed by flooding, landslides and wind. The roster of most intense tropical storms includes 4 typhoons, 5 cyclones, and 5 hurricanes. Size: 24x36 inches.
