Descrição
Disasters Rewound: A mini-series by @WeatherFollower ... Unpacking history's most infamous storms and the stories behind their lasting impact.
In February 1994, Intense Tropical Cyclone Hollanda delivered a crushing blow to Mauritius, becoming the most destructive storm to strike the island since 1975.
In this episode of Disasters Rewound, we track Hollanda's track across the Mascarene Islands. Discover how this compact, intense cyclone made a direct hit on the capital of Port Louis during a national holiday, bringing 225 km/h wind gusts that blacked out the island and severed all global communications. We look at the long-term economic aftermath of a storm that wiped out half of the island's vital sugar crop and wiped 10% off the nation's total GDP.
