Cyclone Fidel

Cyclone Fidel was a very intense South American region tropical cyclone that most notably struck Peru in June of 2014. Fidel originated from a tropical wave in the South Pacific that transferred into the South American region. Fidel also caused about $2.3 billion dollars in damage, and killed more than 83 people, mainly when Fidel triggered mudslides and landslides. The Peruvian town of Camana recorded over 44.6 inches of rain, making it the second-wettest in the region's history.
