Storms #3, 4 and 5

Gustav passed Haiti and left around 60 dead, minor flooding and lots of damaged homes. We thought Hanna would pass well north of us, but last night there was heavy rain for much of the night, especially in the north. At this point, we don't know of the damage, but we do know that much of the city of Gonaives is flooded. You'll recall that Gonaives was where Hurricane Jeanne hit in 2004 killing more than 1000 people. At some parts of the city, there is more than 3 meters of water. Our office is completely flooded there. In the wake of Hanna is Ike and another tropical storm developing. Stay tuned, and pray for those affected, including friends trying to get out of Haiti since last week.
