The track of the storm could potentially put Disney World in the crosshairs, said Aaron Studwell, a meteorologist with Wilkens Weather, a Houston-based forecasting service. The storm is likely to shift west and potentially intensify slightly before making landfall, he said. "Western movement will be more impactful to a city basis than to the energy comples," he said. "It would put Orlando on the East Side with the eye possibly visiting Disney."(Reporting by Jessica Resnick-Ault) -

Makini Brice reports from Cap-Haitien, Haiti:There is knee-high flooding on one side of the road in Fort Liberté in northeastern Haiti, but the other side of the road itself is dry. Residents said the mud-brown water came from a nearby river that had overflowed at around 8 p.m. last night, and that they had all been been in the street ever since. The flooding is in an isolated area. There is no flood water a two minute drive away.

On Friday morning after Hurricane Irma skirted Haiti, about a dozen fishermen lounged by the shore. Some had already returned to the sea, while others had lost some of their equipment and even boats to the winds and waves of the storm.
For Dieu Grand Charles, one of the fishermen, the storm had made his life even more precarious. "We were already in crisis because we had no jobs; we had no money," he said. "We will always restart our work because it is our livelihood...even when aid comes to Haiti, we never get any of it."
Across the street, Antoine Bertolet, a car washer, sat with an eye on the sea. "There were people who were hit, who were injured, who went to hospitals, who died in other places," he said. But here in Cap-Haitien? "Nothing really happened."(Reporting by Makini Brice in Cap-Haitien, Haiti) -
