Hurricanes are tropical storms that can cause much damage to a place. Winds of the hurrianes can go up to 74 miles per hour. These storms are able to make very hard rains and flooding, hich may cause damage and loss of life in coastal areas. They may cause entire cities to be ruined and cost much money to be fixed and returned to normal. There was a recent hurricane in Chile, but there was an Earthquake that hit even worse.

The quake hit with an 8.8 magnitude in Chile. Hundreds of people died, and many are left injured. More than 105 million people were left displaced. Many people, dead and alive, were found under buildings that have been collapsed. This quake hit harder than Haiti, but it was less disruptive than it.

The quake was measured at a depth of 36.7 milesand the epicenter was located 380 miles north of the capital city of Santiago. At first there was no tsunami warning but later the quake rocked the country and caused a tsunami, killing 452 people. The costs to bring the country back to normal are estimated to $3 billion to $8 billion. IT will be a long process to get the country fixed, but i'm sure it can be done.
