Storm Emily Threatens Haiti and Dominican Republic
In Haiti and the Dominican Republic Tropical Storm Emily brings potent rain and flooding risk. Residents like Joceline Alcide stack birth certificates into bags for protection while aid groups distribute cholera kits and shelters multiply. Meteorologists warn of dangerous mudslides in mountain zones as the storm tracks westward. Authorities move families from high risk areas and expect up to 20 inches of rain in the Dominican Republic and heavy rainfall in Haiti.
