Adrian, the first tropical storm of the season in the eastern Pacific,
became the first hurricane to hit El Salvador when it came ashore on
Friday, May 19, 2005, between Acajutla and Puerto La Libertad west of
San Salvador.

Adrian was a minimal hurricane when it made landfall. Thes torm had
winds
of 120 kilometers per hour (75 mph) when it madelandfall, but it quickly
weakened and dissipated as it moved inland over central Honduras.

This was the same region affected by Hurricane Mitchin 1998, when 10,000
people died in the devastation. Unlike Mitch, Adrian was responsible for
just two deaths in Guatemala as a result of a mudslide.

Unlike Mitch, Adrian has something called forward motion
