This morning when looking at the weather sites, I had to refresh my screen a few times.\u00a0 The storm is still over\/near Haiti and has barely moved.\u00a0 It has almost stalled!\u00a0 That is good & bad news at the same time. The good : The trajectory may change from the forecasts.\u00a0 The bad : It can take its time to gain strength again after dropping many inches of rain on Haiti.<\/p>\n

Notice that the storm is only slightly more to the west (left) compared to my post yesterday afternoon! This storm is very slooooow! Haiti sure is getting lots of rain out of this one.<\/p>\n
