I am in Port au Prince,there is no sun,but it seems that the rain is not going to stopp soon. I just spoke with my husband in Cape Haitian. He said there is no damage in the immediate area. The storm there did not seem severe - apparently they were protected by the mountains. Prince Georges is really huffing and puffing at this hour.
Power comes and goes.
Rain started steadily around 7 pm and is now very heavy, coupled with strong gusts. As I write, the heaviest winds yet are roaring. I've read that the center of the storm is about 45 miles North NorthEast of us at this time, moving slowly. That means it should get worse as it passes directly to our north and then out to sea. Most offices closed early this afternoon to allow people to go home to make preparations.
