Local internet still down, just got back 3g cell service about 6pm this evening and have jacked cell phone into laptop to communicate.... Passage of Tropical Storm ISAAC on Haiti
Partial balance - Status of road
Saturday, August 25, 2012
Tropical Storm Isaac has not had a major impact on the country in terms of damage to road infrastructure. However, sections of roads have still been cut or damaged at the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince and in some regions of the country. Here is a partial assessment of registered until 1 in the afternoon.
Blocked due to falling trees
• At Kenscoff, Ball, Well-Blin, Sofa Green Road and Brothers, branches and trunks of trees obstructing the passage.
• A Cayes Jacmel, the coastal road is paralyzed due to falling trees and electric son perched on the edge of the road. Same situation near the entrance of the club Indigo in Saint-Marc, Vialet in the town of Petit-Goave.
• There was no major damage recorded at Gonaives. In the Northwest and Artibonite no major problems were reported.
• Some sections of road in the north including Port-Margot, Blind are blocked. Same scenario between Jacmel and Cotes de Fer. RIBBED IRON road Gris-Gris linking the city center and other sections are cut at the local rider at the start of the village.
Blocked due to flooding
• Several stretches of road are blocked because of flooding. Here is the information received from the EJOC until 12am today:
• The road is flooded and nine blocked.
• The intersection Fleuriot is also flooded and the area known as Marin to the Bon Repos suffered the same fate. An SOS has been launched by the city of Croix-des-Bouquets to help the people of this area.
• The national road number 1 is flooded at the Croix-des-Missions
Roads may be blocked due to swollen rivers
• Reports from Leogane have reported swollen river. Part of the communal section of Mapou Buissonnière was evacuated because the levees that protect the area are threatening to give the pressure of the river.
• At the entrance to Petit Goave, the river is in flood. The waters rise above the deck
NB: other sections of roads have suffered damages including at Fragneau City Delmas 75 and Martissant. We are waiting for confirmation.

Isaac Bears Down
Good morning Fonkoze follower,
Electricity and internet are intermittent as of last night, so I'm looking to get you up-to-date in case I go off the grid.
Our Kore W Project Manager Tyler Tappendorf has this report from Port-Au-Prince:
"The winds picked up last night around 9pm and lasted through most of the night. While rain accompanied the winds, the rain did not appear to be very heavy. As of this morning around 7am, the winds have died off completely and now we are getting steady rains (though I still wouldn't say 'heavy' at this point). From the satellite views, it looks like the center of the storm is now north of the southwest peninsula of Haiti, while the majority of the moisture is still south of Haiti. I'm assuming this means we're still in for a drencher for most of today.
"I did a drive around downtown Port-au-Prince this morning and must say I was surprised how little damage the storm has appeared to cause thus far. No major trees down, just scattered twigs and leaves. Roads were clear (which is rare even after we just have a night of heavy rains). There were a few food stands (metal frames) that had been blown over near the presidential palace, but besides that I could see no other significant damage. I'm sure that the tents and shacks where people are staying, however, did not fare so well. Tarps and sticks would have undoubtedly suffered damage during the sustained high winds. Overall, the damage thus far was much less than the squall line of storms which raced over Port-au-Prince on July 16 with much higher winds. As we all know, floods are the most likely source of damage here so if the rains continue and get heavier, we could very well see some flooding later today."
We will need support for all our ongoing programs to alleviate poverty and strengthen client resilience. Then follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook to continue receiving updates from Port-Au-Prince.
Sincerely, Cassidy Rush External Communications Specialist, Fonkoze |

- heavy winds in Jacmel, Cayes-Jacmel

There have been heavy winds in the Jacmel-Cayes Jacmel area that have destroyed many of the tin. The biggest impact appears to be on the banana and plantain plantations which are largely flattened. The storm
is still sitting on Port-au-Prince. At 8:00AM, the sky was still quite dark. The storm is now moving slowly past the Artibonite where it is expected to cause additional flooding in the Gonaives area. The sad thing with a storm like this is that it will hit
all of the country causing localized damage in nearly all the 10 departments

No significant rain as of yet. Now observing low cloud

Light showers beginning as I write this current
reporting.

Urgent Update: Tropical Storm Isaac
Dear Friend of Fonkoze,
Right now, we are about to face our first test of the hurricane season: Tropical Storm Isaac.
It is predicted to make landfall on Haiti sometime today, and at last report, could drop as much as 12 inches of rain in certain parts of the country, along with winds upwards of 75 MPH.
For many of our clients, this will be devastating. They will lose merchandise, crops and farm animals; their houses will be damaged, their personal belongings ruined.
We will help them recover. Thanks to Kore W, our microinsurance program that covers all Fonkoze clients, we are ready to give all clients in areas hit by intense rain and wind a $125 payout, forgive their existing loan balance, and give them a new loan when they want it.
Please take a moment to give what you can today in support of all our ongoing programs to alleviate poverty and strengthen client resilience, then follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook to continue receiving updates from Port-Au-Prince.
Sincerely,
Carine Roenen
Director, Fonkoze

Isaac might finally make its march north, but for the moment it is still clear.
Our biggest worry is that it might like it here and want to stay! As long as it
doesn't linger the impact shouldn't be too bad.

Current weather: Partly cloudy/sunny and hot most of the day. Now overcast with very lite drizzle. 93 Degrees Winds at 4 mph north Humidity at 52% Laid in supplies this afternoon, water, food, rum....a must have for the hurricane party...
Current projected storm path puts storm eye appox 40 miles from this location just after midnight Friday. Concerned about large size, rotation & aspects of Port-au-Prince essentially being in a bowl. Loose rubble, and post earthquake conditions shall not handle large rains well. Expect to experience massive flooding, landslides, and certainly loss of life, particulary in the some 415,000 population still in tents, lean to's, and temporary shelter. Haiti has been very lucky with weather since the quake, I feel this may come to an end with this storm. If the rainfall quantities are anywhere close to predictions, we shall experience yet another disaster in Haiti.....seems to never end.

[...]
We have beautiful blue skies today with only slight hints of clouds. The country is on full alert preparing for the storm. The 11:00 forecast has pushed the storm’s path further west. It is now forecast to just miss the Dominican Republic
and make landfall as a hurricane near Jacmel. However, it is a weak, poorly organized and very wide storm—roughly 1,000 miles wide! The point where it makes landfall will be less important than the rain that will fall. As a poorly organized storm, it may linger.
Haiti’s worst damage has come from tropical storms that moved slowly, not from major hurricanes.

Subject: wet macroburst in port au prince
hello from port au prince ! The tropical wave that crossed the island today created conditions for deep moist convection to erupt over a large portion of the country . with dry air aloft and some at the surface condition were right for some of them to produced some micro and macroburst.In the capital, a gust of 47.9 m/h was recorded around 1h53 in the afternoon before the anemometer stopped working,but in petion ville there were even higher gust as a result some trees were uprooted, roofs were blown away,lots of branches on the ground and cahotic situation on the somes steets this afternoon. |
