Over the past 15 years, the United States has witnessed some of the most powerful and destructive storms ever documented. There was Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, just to name a few. Hurricane Matthew is the latest tragic reminder of the power of Mother Nature. In the Caribbean, Matthew ravaged Haiti and the Dominican Republic, leaving more than 1,000 people dead. Here at home, although the worst was avoided, over 40 people were killed, and property from Florida to North Carolina suffered an estimated $10 billion in damages.
