9. Mexico

As Hurricane Mitch traveled northward, it made landfall in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula region near Campeche. Prior to landing here, Mitch’s pressure had weakened causing it to downgrade to a tropical storm on November 3. The next day the storm again weakened to a tropical depression, yet when over the Gulf of Mexico the depression regained its strength as a tropical storm. According to Wikipedia, Mitch hit Cancun on the Quintana Roo Coast the worst. As the other countries affected by Mitch, Mexico experienced much rainfall and heavy winds. Nine people were killed, a number much less than the previously mentioned countries. Perhaps because Mexico was not nearly as affected as areas in Honduras is why numerous Mexicans traveled to Honduras in order to aid those who truly needed it the most. Mexicans helped the food shortage in Honduras, sending 700 tons of food, and also sent 11 tons of medicine, four rescue planes, rescue personnel, and trained search dogs (Wikipedia).
