Hurricane Mitch was born 21 October 1998 in the warm waters near the equator. The sun heats the surface of the sea evaporating 1 trillion tons of water each day. Once in the air the water droplets cool transforming into clouds. Carried by the rising warm air‚ the clouds billow upwards. If the heat from the sea below is strong enough they turn into massive tropical storms. The storm spun towards Central America picking up vast amounts of water and increasing wind speed.

Liebert has collaborated with such greats as Carlos Santana
