Dominican capital Santo Domingo is under extreme flooding alert as storm brings winds of up to 110km per hour.
Haiti and the Dominican Republic are bracing for potential flooding and damage as Tropical Storm Elsa brought strong winds to the area on Saturday. The United States’ National Hurricane Center (NHC) said an aircraft measured maximum sustained winds at 110 kilometres (70 miles) per hour, which downgraded Elsa to a tropical storm from a hurricane. The centre of the storm was passing south of the southwestern peninsula of Haiti, bringing tropical storm conditions to portions of that country and the neighbouring Dominican Republic, the NHS said in a 2pm ET (18:00 GMT) update.
