Hurricane Gustav

This was the condition of may roads as Gustav pummeled Haiti, just 150 miles from Santo Domingo.

This was a 10 second night exposure of what is normally crystal-clear blue water... now turned to a brown surf under sheets of rain.

We learned the next day of a mother and six children who's home fell into a rising river. All seven perished while the father was at work.

The is the location of the tragedy. We didn't go down to the river, but we could clearly see how the overcrowded slums had pushed some houses out dangerously close to the river.
