Edith Barrels Toward Island--Cross indicates the approximate center of Hurricane Edith at 5pm, EST, as it continued to head for the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic. With top winds of 100 miles an hour, Edith has already hit the Windward and Leeward Islands. The storm became disorganized today, as hurricanes go, functioning as a gang of eddies instead of a regular circulation of winds.
