WCCN Mobilizes Donations to Aid in Hurricane Felix Relief Efforts

On Tuesday, September 4th, Hurricane Felix hit Nicaragua's Caribbean Coast. The hurricane is said to have killed at least 130 with dozens more missing. It has been reported that nearly half of the homes in the area around Puerto Cabezas, the area most ravaged by the hurricane, have been destroyed. Heavy rain following the hurricane has made flooding a real threat to residents in the affected area.
