Hurricane Matthew: A cyclone hits Haiti

     In 2016 Hurricane Matthew tore through the East Coast of the U.S. What wasn't necessarily known was that Haiti was hit so hard by it that it was classified as a cyclone. The rains and high winds killed more than 470 people. Due to the poverty Haiti is in, they don't have proper disaster warning systems. It was said that Haitians were doing everything they usually would only hours before the storm hit. They have no one warning them about the potential danger coming to their country. The cities have shabby buildings and unsafe housing so the people can't even try to shelter themselves. Unlike Haiti, Cuba actually holds a disaster preparedness plan every month. Expenses for "disaster-proofing" locations are unfortunately out of Haiti's range.
