Credit: Reuters/Eduardo Munoz By Matthew Bigg PORT-AU-PRINCE | Sat Nov 6, 2010 1:28am EDT PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Hurricane Tomas soaked Haiti's crowded earthquake survivors' camps and swamped coastal towns on Friday, triggering flooding and mudslides that killed at least seven people. The center of the storm had cleared Haiti's northern coast by nightfall and Haitian authorities believed the worst was over but meteorologists warned there was still a threat from ongoing rain. "Now that, relatively speaking, Haiti has escaped the danger, we have to continue to be vigilant," Haitian President Rene Preval said at the presidential palace. Four people died in the southwestern province of Grande Anse, two in South province and one at Belle Anse in South-East province, said Haiti's civil protection director, Alta Jean-Baptiste. Scattered flooding was reported in the coastal towns of Les Cayes, Jacmel and Leogane. In the capital Port-au-Prince, still scarred from a devastating January 12 earthquake, hundreds of thousands of homeless quake survivors huddled under rain-drenched tent and tarpaulin shelters in muddy encampments. The quake killed more than a quarter of a million people. The United Nations and relief agencies have gone on maximum alert to prepare for the risk of another humanitarian catastrophe in the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation, which is already reeling from a deadly cholera epidemic on top of the widespread quake destruction. The U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the storm could have dealt a far worse blow. "We have been incredibly lucky on this one. The flooding is still serious, particularly in Leogane, because of the cholera situation .... For once Haiti has been lucky," said OCHA spokeswoman Imogen Wall. Out of the 1.3 million quake survivors in the capital's temporary camps, only some were able to evacuate to more secure structures with family or friends, or in schools or government shelters. Wind from Tomas blew down some tents at camps for displaced people in the southern coastal city at Jacmel, and a river burst its banks in Leogane, pouring water into the town west the capital. In Port-au-Prince, many people went about their business on Friday amid intermittent rain. "Heavy rains did not come but I'm still not happy because my home has lots of holes in it and a lot of water got inside," said Solange Louis-Charles, 40, as she washed plates outside her house, which was made of corrugated iron and tarpaulins. At 8 p.m. (0000 GMT), the center of the storm was north of Haiti, about 135 miles east of Guantanamo, Cuba, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. It had crossed into the Atlantic and was headed for the Turks and Caicos Islands and southeastern Bahamas. Its top winds had dropped to 75 miles per hour (120 km per hour) but it was expected to strengthen again before starting to fizzle on Sunday. Tomas was still a Category 1 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, but just barely. 1 2 Next World Natural Disasters Green Business United Nations Comments See All Comments (1) | Post Comment Nov 05, 2010 11:37pm EDT After all the money collected for Haiti after the earthquake, with the imprimateur of President Clinton, how is it possible that so many people remain living in these conditions?
