Tropical Storm Emily Hits Haiti




Keith Toews :
We are in the middle of Tropical Storm Emily

 Pray for the people here who are already seeing their last 3 months
of BEAUTIFULL crops being destroyed this morn. Corn is being knocked
down etc.

Copy.... MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS REMAIN NEAR 50 MPH...85 KM/H...WITH
HIGHER GUSTS.  SOME WEAKENING IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS
EMILY INTERACTS WITH THE HIGH TERRAIN OF HAITI.
RAINFALL...EMILY IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS
OF 6 TO 12 INCHES WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 20 INCHES POSSIBLE OVER THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND HAITI.

Hard to believe it myself but we are huddled in our house here in
Haiti, with jackets on, trying to stay WARM!  lol

Emily is beating outside now and wrecking stuff for these wretchedly
poor Haitian brothers and sisters all around us.
