Caribbean Storm Death Toll Rises

A rare December cyclone caused a great deal of damage in the Caribbean. The toll there from Tropical Storm Olga, has risen to 25 confirmed deaths. The hardest hit was the Dominican Republic where 22 people were killed by floods and landslides. Most of the people died in the northern city of Santiago, after officials, fearing a collapse of a dam, released water in the already swollen Yaque River.
