PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Tropical Storm Tomas, which built up again throughout the week, heads towards the coast of Haiti and is expected to approach Haiti sometime on Firday. There have been several warnings issued for Cuba, The Domican Republic, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. In addition to the trpoical storm warning for Haiti, there has also been a hurricane watch issued for the area.
If the tropical storm does hit the coast of Haiti, this will be the second storm to hit the area after the devastion of the Haitian earthquake. So far, there have only been several deaths, and the people of Hatiti hope things will remain that way. There have been U.S. navy vessels that have been in the area trying to provide relief which is a very good mititgation strategy; get aid in before the disaster strikes.
