Thousands of Haitians scrambled to find shelter Monday as a tropical depression dumped torrential rains on the tiny, island-sharing nation that was devastated by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake over the weekend. The death toll from Saturday's temblor stood at almost 1,300; thousands more people were injured. More than 7,000 homes were destroyed, and 5,000 were damaged. Hospitals, schools, offices and churches were shattered. Social media buzzed with urgent requests for help. "We need to get the people affected by the earthquake tents ASAP," political activist Kinsley Jean tweeted. "A tropical storm is coming and most of them are sleeping outside." As crews searched for survivors, digging through piles of debris and collapsed buildings, Tropical Depression Grace barreled toward the country. The storm, which was about 50 miles south of Haiti at 5 p.m. ET, dumped "torrential rains" on the island, which it shares with the Dominican Republic, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. It's forecasted to pass over the country and later strengthen over the Caribbean Sea. Haiti could see up to 15 inches of rain in some areas before the storm passes Tuesday. 📸: Fernando Llano, Joseph Odelyn, @apnews; Richard Pierrin, @GettyImages
