Congo: Another deadly natural disaster that affects Congo is floods. In November 2012, heavy rains hit Pointe Noire, the second largest city in the Republic of Congo, causing severe and unpredicted flooding. Five people were killed and over 2,000 displaced. Destruction of the homes and things like overflowed wells caused long term problems such as homeless families and no water.
Mobile, Alabama: Floods also affect Mobile, Alabama. Hurricanes, which usually enter the State along the coast, can produce torrential rainfall and have caused disastrous floods. Floods in Alabama have been associated with a variety of weather disturbances and have affected many areas. Although Hurricane Frederic in September 1979 affected a relatively small area, it caused by far the greatest historical property damage-about $2 billion. Both Congo and Mobile, Alambama fear for unexpected floods which could happen at any time.
