Via HaitLibre.com: Haiti - Weather : First drama of the rain... Excerpt:
The heavy rains that fell on the capital Port-au-Prince, on the night of Thursday to Friday, caused a landslide in Morne Accra, destroying several anarchic houses built on the hillside. An entire family has perished when a mudslide swept away their fragile home. The rains also affected several other neighborhoods where alluvium, stones and rubbish in large quantities covered the streets in some places, making the movement of vehicles difficult.
The report goes on to say that five adults and a child were killed in the mudslide, and that rain has been falling in Port-au-Prince for two weeks, well ahead of the normal rainy season.
