It was in Late 2008 that the storms hit and none of them were Hurricanes at the time yet they still managed to kill thousands. Apparently, the Mountains around the cities are deforested and even a moderate rain can cause deadly mudslides. Unfortunately, many of the Haitians built their houses on the sides of these mountains and I fear many homes collapsed and slid down into the valley.
I know it is early but the death toll will rival that of the Asian Tsunami.
