Tropical Storm Isaac sets eye on Haiti, Dominican Republic
Tropical Storm Isaac marched toward Haiti on Friday, posing a danger to the nation nearly three years after a devastating earthquake left hundreds of thousands living in camps.
Isaac is expected to whip the Caribbean nation with gale-force winds and stinging rain.
A National Hurricane Center forecast map shows the storm making landfall in the Dominican Republic on Friday morning before churning its way through Haiti over the course of the day. The neighboring nations share the island of Hispaniola.
Hundreds of thousands of Haitians are still living in camps with tents as their only shelters following a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in January 2010.
Isaac was 225 miles east-southeast of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, early Friday. It had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, the hurricane center in Miami said.
Rainfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches are expected, with maximum amounts of 20 inches possible over Hispaniola.

I didn't realize I was having an impact beyond our borders. That's pretty cool. Thank you Javier, Julian and Marcos for your support. If I'm number 2, then it looks I will have to try harder.

obviously like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
