Tropical storm leaves more than 115 dead in Central America

Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were hit by a tropical storm over the weekend resulting in at least 115 casualties. Guatemala took the brunt force of the storm resulting in the most deaths, missing, and injured. Many people are now looking for shelter and help especially after the aftermath of rising rivers, loss of bridges, and mudslides. In Guatemala city the amount of water was so torrential that it created a sink hole the size of an intersection that swallowed a building. 3,500 people have been evacuated and nearly the same amount have been taken into shelters.

Within recent years we have witnessed many natural disasters that have taken a toll on on many different lives and cultures. We cannot seize to notice the power of mother nature and allow us to recognize it as a insignificant part of the world. We spend more time reviewing our own personal powers while we do not pay attention to what the world is doing around us and the affect it could have on us. If we do not change this soon many more lives can be lost.
