by Paulina Neshybova

On Wedensday hurricane Gustav hit the shore of Haiti, and now is loosing ots power as it is moving across Carribean. According to National Haiti hurricane center, Gustav could again have its power either later that day or maybe on Thursday.
Before it has weakend to a tropical storm, gustav had caused landslide and heavy rinds which reached southern coast and caused many problems. The storm hit Haiti amid protests bcause of hugh prices of food and living. It raised levels of water on bananas, benas and vegetables fields. Of course, another result is, that they are afraid it could batter oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and by this raise the prices of it. The landslide and the storm damaged trees which are now lying across the main road to the capital city and killed one man so far.
However, government warned people against hurricane. They told them to find some shelters instead of prostesting. The extend of damage is now difficult to notice, as haiti has really bad infrastructure and communications. But if the sotrm continues, they for sure will have problems with flood.
Now the hurricane is moving between Cuba and Jamaica and according to forecaster, Gustav could became a hurricane of the 2nd category on Thursday.
In Cuba, the officials had to evacuate people from the low areas as the winds associated with Gustav were really tough and were bringing downpours . They even created emergency food centers in schools and municipal buildings.
Even the Amercan airlines had to cancel the flight because of storm, so some travelers cannot reach their homes just now.
