Jul. 3—Tropical Storm Elsa continued to churn through the Caribbean Saturday night, leaving at least three people dead as flooding and mudslides remained a threat into Sunday for Hispaniola, the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
The Caribbean Disaster Management Agency confirmed that at least one person had died in St. Lucia when the storm, upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane Friday morning, battered the tourist haven along with the eastern Caribbean island nations of Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
