That storm, of course, paled in comparison to the force of Hurricane Matthew, which pummeled Haiti on Tuesday with 145 mph winds and heavy rain. It hardly seemed fair that Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, should be punished this way again. In many ways still reeling from the 2010 earthquake, Haiti simply lacks the resources to prepare for such destruction. As it stands, little was done in the way of building local structures that would help Haiti respond to a future disaster, like Hurricane Matthew. I can imagine that in the aftermath of the hurricane, Haitians will again struggle to see their future.
