"Tropical Storm Fay kills 4 in Haiti, Dominican Republic; heads to Cuba, Fla." by Associated Press | August 17, 2008
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Flooding from Tropical Storm Fay killed four people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and authorities warned yesterday that the storm could reach hurricane strength as it barreled toward Cuba and Florida.
Rice fields in the Artibonite Valley, Haiti's most fertile region, were flooded, according to reports from Radio Ginen. And Fay's heavy winds destroyed banana crops in Arcahaie, north of the capital, although it is unclear how many acres were affected. Haiti has struggled to cope with a food crisis that sparked deadly riots in April.
Great. Just what poor Haiti needs: its crops wiped out.
How come more of the Haitian suffering isn't covered by the racist, Zionist MSM?
In the neighboring Dominican Republic, a 34-year-old woman drowned when a family tried to cross a swollen river in a car, civil defense agency director Luis Luna Paulino said. The bodies of her missing 13-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew were found yesterday afternoon, but her husband swam to safety.
Good Lord, how terrifying and tragic!!!!
