Hurricane Tomas bore down on the Caribbean resort island of Saint Lucia, packing winds above 75 miles per hour. As of Tuesday some communities remained cut off by the disaster, estimated to have cost the island 100 million dollars. At least 12 people were killed and unfortunately there are still people who are buried from the landslides and wrecked houses.
The hurricane may hit Haiti this week, adding to the woes of a nation where cholera is spreading in the countryside and more than 1 million earthquake survivors have only a plastic tarp or tent to protect them.
