US-CARIBBEAN-WEATHER-STORM
This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) August 3, 2011 GOES East satellite image shows Tropical Storm Emily(R), the fifth named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season 2011. Haiti hurried Wednesday to prepare for incoming Tropical Storm Emily, urging evacuations ahead of the roiling system that could bring flash floods to the impoverished nation still struggling to recover from a devastating earthquake. A tropical storm warning was in effect for Haiti as well as its neighbor on the island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic, and for the US territory of Puerto Rico, the US National Hurricane Center said. Haiti's weather service chief Ronald Semelfort said heavy rains could start pounding the country late Wednesday, warning this "represents a great danger for the country still fragile from the January 2010 earthquake." Tens of thousands of Haitians remain in makeshift camps more than 18 months after the quake, which killed an estimated 225,000 people.
