Caribbean Storm Kills 13 People

If you are like me, you think of the Caribbean as a warm, delightful place for cruises. But that isn't always the case. During Hurricane Season, the storms can get very dangerous and violent. This time, at least 13 people have been killed in flooding in the Dominican Republic following torrential rains dumped by tropical Storm Noel. By early Monday evening, the center of the storm had passed and was heading northwest, past the eastern tip of Cuba towards the Bahamas. I think I will just stick to the midwest and take my chances with a tornado or two and I hope I never see one of those here either.
