Two Other Natural Disasters

Caleb's Slide:

Lituya Bay Mega Tsunami

1958

The economy and infrastructure of the area were not affected because the area was uncivilized. It was mostly grasslands and coastlines, which offered little resources.

Jay's Slide:

Bhola Cyclone

November 12, 1970

Entire villages were destroyed and all crops were wiped out by this cyclone. 85% of the homes in the area were knocked down. Damages reached $86.4 million, and between 300,000 and 500,000 people were killed.
