| Sean Penn is deeply involved in the Haitian relief effort, and I know that some don't like his political activism, but leaving that aside he made some interesting remarks about the Haitian situation last night. He said that the real trauma in Haiti will begin with the onset of the spring rains ( so many people without shelter, infrastructure and command and control still fractured from earthquake). He said that many in Haiti are already aware of what could be coming down the line in this regard. And following the spring rains, the onset of hurricane season!! I know that many on this board are aware that Haiti was deeply affected by storms that lingered over her in '07 and '08. And I remember one particularly bad storm over Hispaniola in May of '07 that received the "Special Tropical Weather Statememt" posted by the NHC. Tremendous rains at that time, which caused mudslides and loss of life. If someone has already posted on this (say several weeks ago) then I am sorry. |
