    After suffering a three year drought Mother Nature finally gave us rain and she made up for all those dry years. The north coast of the Dominican Republic is in a flood situation croups, cows, pigs, and horses are now somewhere in the ocean. Roads are washed out and bridges are falling along with many houses. I know this is nothing for the people who live in areas of the world that have yearly monsoons but the DR was not ready for this.

    That's the way Fresno would be if we got that much rain, just not equipped to handle even small amts. a little rain and then
    Roads are flooded!

    Hope you're in a safe area @Martin Alonzo.

    Yes I am what they called the stupid gringo because I built my house high up on the side of a hill. Thanks for asking but our family is quite safe.

    Glad to hear that...I suppose if you were floating away with your house you wouldn't be on the internet. :)
