Lisio Jean, 25, standing in back, looks as Yoseline Cadet cooks in the courtyard of his riverside home in Cavaillon, Haiti, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2002, just hours before Tropical Storm Lili was expected to strike Haiti's southern peninsula. Although it made a slight shift away from the mainland, Lili was still expected to drench Haiti with lashing rains. When Hurricane Georges struck Haiti in Sept. 1998, the river swelled quickly, and part of Jean's one-room mud hut was destroyed. "We're not going to move till the water wets our feet," he said.
