Haiti's Death Toll: 800 and Counting More...

Hurricane Matthew made landfall in Haiti on Tuesday, October 4, 2016. Crops are destroyed. Banana and mango trees collapsed on homes. Livestock is blown away and killed. Even dead fish, conch shells, and crabs are found far from the beach and all along the coastal communities.

Thousands of survivors will need shelters and food from the civil protection officials and the current government. Many of them will perish unfortunately. They may not be reached on time. Scarcity is the name of the game. A few people will try to control everything.

Here is a summary of most people's observation in Haiti: " Houses have lost their rooftops; they have been damaged and the winds are very powerful." Dr. Leger said, ""Many, many roofs are completely off. Many trees down, and destroyed walls. Roads are blocked. There is damage. People are staying indoors - the wind has started again. Nothing is normal now, and it's not likely to be until tomorrow."

Jeremie suffers the most from Hurricane Matthew's trail of misery and tears. The number of dead bodies continues to rise.
