Tropical Cyclone |
United States |
Category 4 hurricane made landfall in southeast Puerto Rico after striking the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Croix. Maria's high winds caused widespread devastation to Puerto Rico's transportation, agriculture, communication and energy infrastructure. Extreme rainfall up to 37 inches caused widespread flooding and mudslides across the island. The interruption to commerce and standard living conditions will be sustained for a long period, as much of Puerto Rico's infrastructure is rebuilt. Maria tied Hurricane Wilma (2005) for the most rapid intensification, strengthening from tropical depression to a category 5 storm in 54 hours. Maria's landfall at Category 4 strength gives the U.S. a record three Category 4+ landfalls this year (Maria, Harvey, and Irma). Maria was one of the deadliest storms to impact the U.S., with numerous indirect deaths in the wake of the storm's devastation. |

Department, at a depth of about 107 km (USGS). The event was an intermediate-depth, strike-slip rupture inside the subducting Nazca slab; because of its depth, strong shaking

describes it as the largest-magnitude earthquake recorded in Colombia in the past decade. As of 17:00 COT on 10 August the Government reported 111 deaths and 87 injured,
more than 1,600 buildings damaged (1,575 homes damaged, 37 destroyed, 61 buildings collapsed), together with damage to 18 health facilities, 52 educational facilities, 18
major roads and six regional airports. The passenger terminal of Matecaña International Airport in Pereira partially collapsed, a tower of the neo-Gothic cathedral in Manizales fell
onto the nave, and about 30% of the University Hospital in Cali collapsed. The President declared a national disaster, set up a Unified Command Post in Chocó and deployed four
