Hurricane Harvey has shocked the world claiming the lives of 38 people. This was a very intense storm. This reminds us of Hurricane Mitch of 1998 which caused havoc in Central America. This stormed led to between 11,000 to 19,000 people. The majority of those who died were from Nicaragua and Honduras. The worst happened after 10 years in the name of Cyclone Nargis which hit Myanmar and claimed the deaths of 138,000 people.
