according to international aid officials, there are 235 tent camps in the leogane area. 15 are flooded, and several of those are still unreachable. but aid workers have been talking to residents there by phone and say all of them are safe. while a few areas were hard hit by the storm, most of haiti fared well. a u.n. spokesperson said the country was incredibly lucky. port-au-prince, the capital, had heavy rains, but only minimal flooding. in a tent camp, though, a mudslide buried one of the homes. >> they said when the mud fell down that it destroyed the house. it was underneath the shelter house that was made. now all the mud just covered everything, but no one died, but just all the material and beds and everything is left inside. >> reporter: aid workers are now assessing the recovery needs and the u.s. is offering supplies and helicopter support. with the skies clear again, haitian streets are returning to life as the people here weather yet another storm. now, still to be determined is whether the heavy rains may have worsened the cholera epidemic here, by spreading the contamina

anti-government protests erupted in leogane. but that anger is everywhere. what does the government help you now? before the storm? >> nothing. they didn't do nothing. >> reporter: haiti has suffered biblical misery the last year. first, the earthquake. then, cholera. now, this. i'm afraid that if it keeps raining, this man said, my tent will be completely flooded and i have no place to go. for over 1.3 million haitians, camps like these are the only homes they know. now, this mud isn't just a nuisance. we're actually told it's dangerous. health officials are really concerned about these puddles, which they say could bring cholera, which has killed over 400 people here and sickened thousands. yet, rather than flee, earthquake refugees, like nannette, hunker down. we trudge with her through this mess to her tent. >> translator: i'm afraid. but this is all i have. you know, i have no place to go. >> reporter: she told us this flimsy tent and her baby are all she has left. and for many, staying put seems a gamble worth taking. we mentioned cholera, dan. an area

but other areas were hard hit including leogane. >> for the second time this year, leogane, hitty has been hit hard by a disaster. last summer it was at the epicenter of the earthquake. now floodwaters from hurricane tomas have filled the streets. as residents struggle to move about and worry about how high the water would go. some 3,000 people were evacuated to higher ground. in addition to being the epicenter of the earthquake, this town was built on a flood plain and is vulnerable to rain. that's why all this water is now racing through the center of town. rushing water surrounded a makeshift camp for victims made homeless by the earthquake. adults and children now threatened inside their tents, suffering once again. >> it just underlies how vulnerable this country is. it has a vulnerable infrastructure before the earthquake. we had the devastating earthquake, we had a cholera crisis, now we have the storms. it's clearly, it's clearly -- it's heartbreaking, quite honestly. >> reporter: the medical staff had only 20 minutes to move patients to safety on the second floor before flood

leogane is a city submerged. it was twice pummeled this year. look at this. the city after january's earthquake. and the city today. rain from the remnants of hurricane tomas damaged thousands of homes. and turned streets into rivers for residents. haitians continue to rely on international aid organizations. and residents here besieged this u.n. vehicle. the soldiers were handing out their own rations. we climbed aboard with the u.n. troops who were shocked by the scope of the flooding. we saw tents swallowed by the flood and children fighting the current. >> there's going to be a risk of spread of disease. sanitation conditions are very poor. >> reporter: the vast majority of this country's 1.3 million earthquake victims were spared. but early estimates are that 3,000 homes were damaged. they started rebuilding after the earthquake. and with the waters receding, they're starting again. this is your business? >> uh-huh. >> reporter: this tailor brought us to his shop. inside, bolts of cloth ruined. but he's already thinking about the future. it does seem tha

some of the clowns on the southern claw are facing flooding in leogane and tiburon and saing louis-du-sud. we've had some flooding pill you find this town if you've got really good eyes on the map that we gave you where you'd expect to see them, and the southwest were of course the storm first tracts. the department of civil is estimating people in the camps did leave of their own accord overnight. mostly as we recommended to stay with host families, with friends and family in safer housing. so far, the government is reporting one fatality on the other side of the southern claw. as far as the u.s. governments response, we were well prepared. we knew that there was a very good chance that there would be a severe storm or a hurricane and beginning in the early summer, we were doing assessments. we were pre-positioning supplies that we would need things like hygiene kit and water containers, kitchen sets, blankets. we had enough in the country for 100,000 people. when it became clear with them last week that we were going to get a severe storm, we got a lot more in. we added enough to help a
