Hurricane Tomas

Hurricane Tomas was a powerful tropical storm that formed in October 2010, primarily affecting the Caribbean region. It reached hurricane status, causing significant damage, especially in Haiti, which was still recovering from a devastating earthquake earlier that year. Tomas brought heavy rainfall, leading to flooding and landslides, and it resulted in the loss of lives and displacement of many people. The storm highlighted the vulnerability of islands and coastal communities to natural disasters, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and response in mitigating such impacts.
