Tropical Storm Isaac churns into eastern Caribbean
None
The churning center of Tropical Storm Isaac spun over tiny islands at the eastern entrance to the Caribbean, where many seafront bars and restaurants stubbornly remained open Wednesday night as lightning and thunder crackled and choppy surf slapped against piers and seawalls.
US forecasters said Isaac was likely to approach Hispaniola, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti, as a hurricane late Thursday or early Friday after intensifying over the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. (AP)
