Hurricane Eta Strikes Guatemala

Hurricane Eta, which struck in November 2020, was a devastating tropical cyclone that caused significant destruction across Central America, particularly in Nicaragua and Honduras. The hurricane made landfall as a Category 4 storm, bringing with it torrential rains, strong winds, and widespread flooding. The aftermath of Hurricane Eta was catastrophic, with reports indicating that more than 100 individuals were either missing or confirmed dead, although the final death toll remains uncertain as recovery efforts continue. The storm displaced thousands of people, destroyed homes, and severely impacted infrastructure, leading to a humanitarian crisis in the affected regions. Emergency response teams faced challenges due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, complicating relief efforts. The effects of Hurricane Eta serve as a stark reminder of the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes, likely exacerbated by climate change. As communities work to rebuild, the need for improved disaster preparedness and response strategies is more critical than ever. #Mooflife #MomentOfLife #HurricaneEta #2020HurricaneSeason #NaturalDisasters #ClimateChange #CentralAmerica
