Sioux Falls, SD (Ku) – A tropical storm dropped heavy rain in Haiti during the night.

It comes after a deadly earthquake hit the southwestern part of the country over the weekend.

More than 1,900 people died as a result of the 7.2-magnitude earthquake.

Zac Vevelin watches the devastation from afar.

Haiti is near home to local nonprofits

Today, you’ll find him living in Sioux Falls with his wife and three children, but he was born in Haiti and lived there for about 30 years.

Zach came to the United States in 2010, just days before a deadly 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit his home country.

“It was horrible hearing what happened, seeing it on TV, feeling helpless, and I couldn’t help it,” said Zach Vevelin.

He lost an aunt and friends to the disaster over a decade ago.

Now, he’s watching another heartbreaking scene unfold.

“Haiti itself and the Haitian people can’t catch their breath, they can’t take a break. It’s just one thing after another, you know?” said Vivelain.

He’s keeping a close eye on what’s happening out of Sioux Falls.

“I watch the news and keep in touch with a lot of people out there,” Vivelin said.

Zach says his family in the southeastern part of Haiti felt the earthquake, but they are fine.

Zach says there are ways to help, including donating to trusted missionary groups and organizations and praying.

“Don’t stop praying for the people, the country. We need it. We need a miracle,” Vivelin said.

Zack hopes to head to Haiti in six to eight weeks to help with relief efforts.

Haiti also suffers from the assassination of its president just over a month ago.
