Rare Tornado Hits Haiti, Injuring Dozens and Leaving Hundreds More Homeless
Breitbart ^ | 05/23/2024 | JOHN HAYWARD

A rare tornado struck the northern Haitian community of Bassin-Bleu on Tuesday, injuring more than 50 people and leaving about 300 homeless, according to the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs.

Emergency response operations for the tornado continued through Thursday morning, and local officials warned of major disruptions to transportation and power in the area. Local officials said they might impose curfews, especially if more severe weather occurs.

U.N. officials and local media said ten of the reported injuries were serious enough to require hospitalization. Heavy rains sweeping through much of Haiti hindered rescue efforts and could lead to floods or landslides, adding to the many woes of the troubled Caribbean nation.

Is Hati’s part of Hispaniola cursed or what?.

Yes.

I remember a story about how the slaves revolted against the French in the 1790s. They made a deal with the devil (he gets to keep Haiti for 200 years) in exchange for help against the French. In the 1990s the Clintons renewed the deal with the devil for 200 more years.

Coups, Gangs, Hurricanes, Famine, Earthquakes, and NOW, Tornadoes.

Oh, by the way, are there any volcanoes on Haiti?

Seems like several times a year, Haiti experiences some form of Africa.

I guess now all those azhos will be seeking illegal alien “assylum” in the U.S. “for a better (post tornado) life.”
