You Are Here: Home WORLD Hurricane Tomas Batters Haiti

[FoxNews.com] PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Panicked residents fled a coastal city that has been slammed twice already this decade by killer floods as an intensifying Hurricane Tomas moved up Haiti's northwestern coast. Hurricane Tomas spared most earthquake-refugee camps in the capital but battered a seaside town to the west that was nearly destroyed by January's earthquake.

Coming ashore at Haiti's far southwestern edge, the Category 1 storm slammed the coastline with 85-mph winds and killed at least four people with storm surge and rains.

Hurricane Tomas then flooded camps harboring earthquake refugees, turning some into squalid islands in Leogane, a town west of the capital that lost 90 percent of its buildings and thousands of people in the Jan. 12 quake. Two people were missing in the city.
