Miami: Tropical Storm Isaac made landfall on Haiti's southern coast early on Saturday, lashing the impoverished Caribbean nation with driving rain and gale-force winds, US forecasters said.
"It has just moved ashore west of Port-au-Prince," Jessica Schauer, a spokeswoman of the US National Hurricane Center told AFP.
She said the storm packed winds of nearly 110 kilometers (70 miles) an hour, with higher gusts at the moment of landfall.
Around 400,000 people still live in temporary tent camps following the quake that killed 250,000 around the country and leveled Port-au-Prince, and they have nowhere to go.
