...but I could really use it.

Basically, I'm looking for Damage caused by Hurricanes/Typhoons in LEDC's. I've raided Google, but found nothing. Would anyone do a quick search to help, or perhaps point me in the direction of a good website?

Thanks.

Bangladesh - Stoner capital of the world...

Hehe, I actually enjoy it more this year than I did last year- less politics/Human goegraphy, 90% hazards/physical geography.

Maybe you should have given it up after the first year like me.

Nah, there's none- and this is A-Level by the way. I have 10 now, so I'm getting there.

Isn't there loads about that in your text book?
At least, there was tonnes in mine when I was doing Geogrpahy AS level (if that's what you're doing)

Anywho - there's loads of stuff about Bangledesh around, seeing as it gets compltely wasted pretty much every year. Although that's probably got more to do with flooding due to river overflow due to loads of different reasons, it is made worse by such tropical storm type-thingers.

Slowly but surely I'm collecting information. Thanks for your help though. :)

I wasnt suggest you use it, I was using it as an example to find out if thats the kind of thing youre looking for.

Try places like National Geographic website and National Meterological websites to try and gather some info, or even the big charity websites like Concern,Goal, Medecins Sans Frontiers,Red Cross, they might be surprisingly useful.

Thanks, but I can't really use other people's work for my A-Level Geography Coursework! :D

I've got *some* information (ie. 7 hurricanes incl. Mitch) but I really need around 15-ish. It's really hard to find the information as most countries that poor never record information on damage.

Im not sure if this [URL]http://www.studentcentral.co.uk/relation_different_natural_disasters_discuss_thei_12524/[/URL] is the kind of thing youre looking for. MAybe looking up specific disasters like Hurricae Mitch etc might help in the search for info Chipseh.
