NAPLES, Fla. — Catholic agencies were working Aug. 27 to assess damage in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Isaac’s pass over the Caribbean, where at least 24 people died and tens of thousands were evacuated.
The storm left widespread flooding and wind damage in Cuba and Hispaniola, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti, before turning north toward the U.S. Gulf Coast, where it was expected to make landfall Aug. 28.
