Tropical Storm Isaac hit Haiti late Friday/early Saturday morning. The wind was bad for a bit through the evening. Here is some of the leaves/branches that came down; not bad at all in our yard.

A neighbour had an electrical prise line broken during the storm. The line is shown hanging down in our yard.

We had trouble sleeping with the noisy wind and the clanging almonds hitting the tin roof of the kitchen shelter. There are lots of almonds scattered on the ground. Pachico is eating one while Manu is brushing his teeth.

This is the view of our street corner and of Delmas 31. People were going about their activities in the rain.

This tin wall was knocked down by the winds on Delmas 31.

Heading up Delmas 31 there were some large branches on the road.

This is a view of a large branch blocking a side street off Delmas 31.

There was just enough room for us to drive through the gap on the road. This is the back road towards Airport Road leading from the top of Delmas 31.

These men were removing some large branches, hacking away with machetes. They made quick progress.

Swift rains means flooded streets. This is the corner of Airport Rd and Delmas 33 prolonger.

We drove through this large puddle on the road which covered all the road :)

The Tabarre bridge had lots of water from the River Grise flowing. The river was churning. The power of water is amazing.

The water waters were at maximum but didn't jump the banks in this location.

Large rapids/waves were at this bend in the river; would make some great kayaking!

This is a view downriver from the other side of the bridge.
