Tropical Storm Grace sweeps over Haiti just two days after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake killed more than 1,400 people
A woman walks through the rubble of a collapsed hotel in Les Cayes, Haiti, Monday, Aug. 16, 2021, two days after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the southwestern part of the country.
After nightfall, heavy rain and strong winds whipped at the country's southwestern area, hit hardest by Saturday's quake, and officials warned that rainfall could reach 38 centimetres in some areas before the storm moved on. Port-au-Prince, the capital, also saw heavy rains. The quake nearly wrecked some towns in the southwest in the latest disaster to befall the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation.'Exceptional situation'
A hospital in the badly damaged town of Les Cayes was so crowded with patients after the earthquake that many had to lie in patios, corridors, verandas and hallways, but the approaching storm had officials scrambling to relocate them as best they could.
