Tropical Storm Jeanne hit Haiti in September 2004, causing significant devastation and resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives. The storm brought heavy rainfall, leading to severe flooding and triggering mudslides in various parts of the country. The combination of torrential rains and hilly terrain made Haiti particularly vulnerable to the destructive impact of the storm. The flooding and mudslides caused widespread damage to homes, infrastructure, and agriculture, affecting many communities and leading to a significant loss of life in the country.
