The death toll rose Tuesday as Tropical Storm Noel lashed the Caribbean with at least 24 fatalities reported across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
After drenching Hispaniola, an island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Noel moved slowly across the Cuban interior.
It left at least 16 people dead and 15 reported missing in the Dominican Republic, and threatened to cause more floods and mudslides across the region, already drenched by weeks of rainfall.
In Cuba, 2,000 people in the storm's path were evacuated.
Tropical Storm Noel was expected to head back out to sea off the north coast of Cuba Tuesday night or Wednesday. [Reuters]
