Hurricane Inez 1966

In Haiti falling power lines and radio towers brought a communications blackout with the storm. Mighty winds funneling down the Valley of Death a deep gorge between Haiti’s towering mountain ranges and flash floods pounding down the slopes. Inez blasted Haiti with winds of 160 mph. The eye entered at a point east of Jacmel on the southern coast of Haiti and emerged near Leogane on the northern coast. Inez caused 20,350,000 damage and about 500 Haitians were killed, 1000 injured and 60,000 were left homeless.
