Haiti is going to be hurting really badly after this storm. They are such a freaking mess to begin with, that it seems cruel to add insult to their injury. It reminds me of why 6.5 earthquakes in California just do some structural damage, but in Iran they kill thousands of people. Haiti will have hundreds or thousands dead from the flooding today.
It could be tens of thousands. All those mountainsides with the trees stripped away are massive mudslides just waiting to happen. And with a government so corrupt and inept, chances are the people caught in them will receive zero help that doesn't come from other countries.
