Tropical Storm Tomas downgraded, but heads for Haiti

Authorities on Sunday urged hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in crowded tent camps to seek new shelter as Tropical Storm Tomas roared across the Caribbean with Haiti in its projected path. Tomas was downgraded to a tropical storm from a Category 1 hurricane, but the National Hurricane Center said it may regain strength early this week as it passes south of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, where more than one million survivors of a Jan. 12 earthquake are living in sprawling tent camps.
