(September 4, 2008)--Authorities say 61 people have died in floods across Haiti caused by Tropical Storm Hanna, which is nearing hurricane strength again, with winds now up to 70 miles-per-hour.
Hanna could arrive in the U.S. as a category 1 hurricane this weekend.
A hurricane watch is posted along much of the Carolinas.
Officials in South Carolina say they might start issuing voluntary evacuation notices around noon.
Two other storms are also gaining strength.
Hurricane Ike is already an "extremely dangerous" category 4 storm with wind speeds near 145 miles an hour.
Forecasters say it's too early to say if Ike will threaten land.
Behind that, Tropical Storm Josephine's sustained winds are near 60 miles-per-hour, after weakening some Wednesday.
