Sudden storm kills five in Haiti


Port-Au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A short but severe storm with high winds and heavy rain has killed five people in Haiti's earthquake devastated capital, the United Nations said.
No warnings were issued because the storm Friday afternoon was not predicted.
Five deaths have been confirmed so far and the United Nations received reports of others who were injured or trapped.
At Port-au-Prince's Petionville Golf Club, where actor Sean Penn's aid organization JP HRO has been managing a camp for quake-displaced Haitians, the medical tent was ripped apart as was a tent that housed the group's staff.
Photos showed nothing but sky over what used to serve as the nerve center for JP HRO. No deaths were reported there despite the hillsides turning into treacherous mud.
