Phew!

``LÉOGÂNE, Haiti — Hurricane Tomas swirled far enough offshore Friday to spare Haiti yet another catastrophe.''



``President René Préval went on radio to warn residents to stay out of rivers and pooled water to prevent diseases like cholera, which has killed more than 400 people here, from spreading.
But just as he spoke those words, people along a main road in Port-au-Prince carried on, dipping wash buckets, hands and, in the case of one man, a mouth in a gurgling gutter.''
NYT

I wouldn't want to be in Haiti right now, though.
