All is anticipation in the southwestern peninsula of Haiti. No significant rain or wind at this time. Unfortunately, things will get worse. While it is not expected to be replay of Matthew in 2016, the region has a greatly increased population, most displaced from other problem areas, like Port au Prince, and a dearth of basic resources. And, of course, the local people remain completely unprepared for any natural disaster. Additionally, a number of disaster relief organizations have blown into town to scoop up whatever funds may be available for local relief efforts, and, just as quickly, leave town when the money dries up. This was exactly what happened during Hurricane Matthew, and no benefit to the Haitian people was observed once the crisis passed. The population was once again left to fend for themselves, and the same scenario will no doubt occur at this time, with only those actually living in the community committed to helping the community.

All quiet here in Jeremie, on the southern peninsula. No weather problems, other than baking heat and minimal rain. As in the past, Haiti has zero preparation for storms, hurricanes, earthquakes etc., and this has been further exacerbated by ongoing destruction of the telecommunications systems in the country by gang violence. Just when you think that Haiti has descended as far into hell as it can go, things manage to get worse. Nonetheless, those regularly demonized are not the demons promoting historical misery for the population. There are many good, well-intentioned Haitian citizens, albeit out-gunned and forever suppressed. No Hallmark movie material here.

Hi Gert,
Here in southern Haiti, Jacmel, we have just experienced a little bit of rain, rain, and overcast skies the past two days, the sea is surprisingly very calm.
Regards, Matthew |

Gert, Right now, I'm on North Coast of DR. Rain is coming for sure, and windy, but no significant issues from Erin. Along the same coastline is Haiti, to the west, about 100 miles. Cap Haitian is 2nd largest city in Haiti. They are expecting lots of rain like here but not much else. The capital, Port au Prince, will get nothing from this storm. We also live in Jeremie, which is on Haiti's southern peninsula, which will also get nothing. The North Coast of Hispaniola never seems to get hit as all storms move east to west, and storms hitting east coast land are significantly diminished by mountainous terrain on way into island. This may change as weather patterns disturbed by climate change. When I return to Haiti (this month), I will post an update. Reuben |
