Houses collapsed after floodwaters ran through the streets of Santo Domingo as Tropical Storm Laura batters the region. HAVANA: Tropical Storm Laura brushed Cuba's southern coast on Monday on its way to the United States, where officials predicted it would worsen to a hurricane ahead of its landfall after leaving 13 people dead as it ripped through the Caribbean.
Laura tracked westwards along the southern coast of Cuba on Monday, unleashing heavy rain and coastal flooding. Cuban authorities had evacuated at least 160,000 people as a precaution in the provinces of Guantanamo, Santiago de Cuba, Granma and Camaguey. Energy companies suspended some oil and natural gas production in the Gulf as the weather deteriorated.However, Storm Laura has done its worst damage so far in Haiti, killing nine people over the weekend.
In neighboring Haiti, a 10-year-old girl was among the nine dead as homes were flooded and evacuations were underway.
