Second Major Rainfall Since Quake Hits Haiti
--------------------------------------------



Meanwhile in Haiti, fears of the coming rainy season were heightened
Thursday when a heavy downpour hit Port-au-Prince. It was the second
major rainstorm to hit Haiti since the earthquake struck. Thousands
remain without any shelter, and tents provided to many displaced
Haitians have been unable to withstand the rain.

Displaced Haitian Jean-Pierre Roge: “I’m staying on the ground, but the
rain came all night. It’s causing trouble because I don’t have a tent. I
don’t know what to do. We have one, two or three days until the rain
comes, and I don’t know what to do. Everyone is in the same situation.”
