However, if we had to guess, it would probably have given some minor flooding.]]> 2018-05-05 15:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/n_jakobi15/2jf7v0uiza8n/wish/258227161 Hurricane Ike and Eugenie n_jakobi15 https://padlet.com/n_jakobi15/2jf7v0uiza8n/wish/259001367 If Hurricane Ike had followed the path of Hurricane Eugenie, the impact would have been much greater than it was with the real storm. This is because Madagascar is a low income country, and is also an island. This means  that there is more likely to be flooding. As well as this, the long term impacts would have been much greater, because people would not have had enough money to rebuild.]]> 2018-05-08 16:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/n_jakobi15/2jf7v0uiza8n/wish/259001367
