Image Caption: Hurricanes
in the Pacific Ocean: Two different hurricanes occurred off the West
coast of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean during the duration of the STS-78
mission. The first three photos document the size and intensity of
Hurricane Alma which made landfall early in the day on June 24th. The
last photo shows Hurricane Boris, a second hurricane which made
landfall just days after Alma in the same region. The two storms
reached category 2 strength with winds on 100 mph, but reports showed
only minor damage.
