Tropical Storm Isaac Approaches Haiti, Dominican Republic 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
The island of Hispaniola, home to Haiti and the Domnican Republic, is
bracing for a potential hurricane with the approaching Tropical Storm
Isaac. The storm is gathering strength as it barrels toward the two
neighboring island countries. There are fears Isaac will trigger massive
flooding and landslides in Haiti as in storms of years past. In the
United States, officials in Florida have the raised the possibility that
Isaac may force the delay or cancellation of the Republican convention
in Tampa next week.
