At the time that it hit, Fifi was the worst [[natural disaster]] to ever hit [[Honduras]]. It formed off the coast of [[Jamaica]] and made landfall as a [[Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale|Category 2 hurricane]]. It then weakened significantly and became a tropical storm, and then a tropical depression. It moved into the Pacific and regained strength. Fifi was a tropical cyclone that lasted for 18 hours and was renamed Orlene. Orlene then intensified into a hurricane and reached Category 2 status. Orlene made landfall in [[Mexico]] and became [[extratropical]] over the mountains. {{storm path|Fifi 1974 track.png}} == Fifi’s path == {{storm path|Orlene 1974 track.png}} == Orlene’s path == {{Retired Atlantic hurricanes}} {{weather-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Fifi}} [[Category:Category 2 Atlantic hurricanes]] [[Category:Disasters in the 1970s]] [[Category:
