Haiti Braces For Tropical Storm Grace Just Days After Earthquake Hits Island

Over the weekend, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti.

News of the devastation hit particularly hard here in Massachusetts, which hosts the third largest Haitian community in America. At last count, more than 1,000 Haitians are presumed dead, thousands more are injured.

Now, just days after the quake, those on the ground there are preparing for Tropical Storm Grace, which is set to make landfall on the island Monday night.
