The death toll from tropical storm Isaac rose to 24 in Haiti with three people still missing, the Haitian Civil Protection Agency said Tuesday.

Isaac battered Haiti last weekend with torrential rains and strong winds, where they were strongest in the department of Ouest (west) where 10 people have died, according to Haitian authorities.

A strong 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of El Salvador on Sunday night, but no casualties were reported and fears of a tsunami soon dissipated.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center cancelled a warning for all of Central America and Mexico early on Monday morning after reporting that a small tsunami wave of roughly 4 inches above normal sea level had been generated.
