Dateline: PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
The first named storm to brew in the Caribbean Sea in December churned toward Haiti's south coast Friday, threatening to unleash mudslides and flash floods that often prove fatal in the impoverished country.
Tropical Storm Odette also is expected to carry torrential rain to the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti.
Odette could reach Hispaniola early Saturday and drop up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain that could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in Haiti's deforested mountains, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami warned.
