Hurricane Tomas, a Category 1 storm, is expected on Friday to strike Haiti, a country still recovering from an earthquake early this year.
The biggest threat to Haiti will be as much as 15 inches of rain produced by the hurricane. That amount of rain could produce flash floods and mudslides, according to the National Hurricane Center, which added that Tomas could raise water levels by as much as three feet above normal tides along the coast of Haiti and some coastal parts of Cuba.
Heavy rain is also predicted for the Dominican Republic.
