This Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2016 shows a rooster standing near the home of Bertha Mesilier, that she shared with her husband Edma Desravine, who was last seen seeking refuge from the heavy rainfall and winds brought by Hurricane Matthew, in Port-a-Piment, a district of Les Cayes, Haiti. Nobody has seen or heard from the 71-year-old grandfather known for his sly sense of humor and bad luck at cock fights, in the 2 ½ weeks since Hurricane Matthew sent floodwaters and debris crashing into his riverside shantytown.(AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery) (AP)
