Tropical Storm Franklin is churning through the Caribbean Sea as authorities in Haiti and the Dominican Republic warn residents to prepare for floods and landslides.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Tropical Storm Franklin churned through the Caribbean Sea Tuesday as authorities in Haiti and the Dominican Republic warned residents to prepare for landslides and heavy floods.
The storm is forecast to drop up to 10 inches of rain in both countries, with up to 15 inches in isolated areas. Heavy rainfall is of great concern to Haiti, where severe erosion in many places often leads to dangerous flooding.Haiti and Dominican Republic warn of floods and landslides as Tropical Storm Franklin nears
A tropical storm warning is in place for the area between the mouth of the Rio Grande and Port O’Connor, meaning tropical storm conditions are expected within 12 hours. The National Hurricane Center predicted “scattered instances of flash flooding” on land and “life-threatening surf and rip-current conditions” at the coast.
“I hope God will direct the storm in another direction,” said street vendor Anne Jean-Pierre, 45. “We can’t take any more.”
