A few nice image source images I found:

Yon miray tonbé nan kalvè bandinò dlo rantré nan kay moun yo lagé pou kont yo.
(Lightning coming down in "kalve bandino" and water entered into people's houses, they were isolated)
@jacquiecharles (of Miami Herald): Popular neighborhoods in #CapHaitien are flooded; so are parts of Carenage. Unconfirmed: 7-11 dead, I am hearing. #Haiti
New 5.9 Boche destroyed by our artillery

This serene image was captured by the official war photographer, John Warwick Brooke. The landscape looks very beautiful and there is a peaceful atmosphere conveyed in this scene. This could be because the soldier in the centre looks relaxed and at rest. Apart from the upturned gun, there are no other indications of this war zone present.
The Australian runner, Albert Edward Vinall, recalls 'Monty and I are sent back to look for No.5 and 6 Platoons, Fritz is shelling us with 5.9 and 8 inches. We found no sign of the Platoons but found plenty of Yanks who were lost.' Vinall's casual reference to shelling, highlights how complacent soldiers had become about the realities of war. The derogatory term for a German, 'Boche, originates from the French slang 'alboche, derived from two words 'allemand (German) and 'caboche (pate, head).
