Haiti gets warning on tropical storm

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Tropical Storm Noel formed over the Caribbean on Sunday and forecasters warned that the system could send flash floods rushing over deforested hills in Haiti before it heads on to Cuba. Forecasters predicted Sunday that the storm would move east of Florida, missing the state. The strengthening storm poses a serious threat to impoverished Haiti, which is still recovering from floods that killed at least 37 and sent more than 4,000 people to shelters earlier this month. Noel, the 14th named storm of the Atlantic season, had sustained winds of about 60 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. A tropical storm warning was issued for the Haitian coast and parts of the Dominican Republic. A tropical storm warning and hurricane watch were issued for parts of Cuba, including the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
