Port-Au-Prince, Haiti (AFP) Oct 24, 2005
Ten people died, 11 were injured and three were reported missing in Haiti after Tropical Storm Alpha flooded rivers and wrecked homes, civil defense officer Alta Jean-Baptiste said Monday.

Three people were also missing as a result of the storm in the Dominican Republic, which shares the Caribbean island of Hispaniola with Haiti, authorities there said.

Alpha became the record-breaking 22nd named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season on Saturday in the Caribbean and headed straight for Hispaniola, lashing it with rain through Monday.

The storm weakened to a tropical depression as it moved northeast over the Atlantic Ocean.
