The effects of Hurricane Georges in Haiti destroyed 80% of the bananna crop. Georges did $179 million (1998 USD) in damage to the country and killed 209 people. Georges had peaked as a Category 4-hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale days before making landfall in the Lesser Antilles. Georges was a weakened hurricane when it made landfall in the Dominican Republic on September 24, affecting Haiti as it crossed the center of the island.

On August 21, as Georges approached the Lesser Antilles and Haiti, the island issued a Hurricane Watch for its northern coast. It was extended on the 22nd for the whole island and discontinued on the 24th after Georges had passed.
