IRIS - AFTER THE STORM"

wide swath of destruction through the Stann Creek and
Toledo Districts. Twenty people were killed, dozens of
villages leveled, cayes inundated, crops destroyed and
over 12,000 residents left homeless. As the winds subsided

out to chronicle the story of Hurricane Iris throughout
the devastated areas. This tape is a collection of the
dramatic stories they found. |
