hi,

The North Coast has a lower chance of being struck by a hurricane then the south coast. I've read that the one of the biggest mountains in the caribbean is in Puerto Plata. It acts like a shelter/protecter against hurricanes. No hurricanes or tornadoes have struck the North Coast in many years....then again just another reason why the north coast is my favorite!

Jim Hinsch its ok you don't half to comment on this one!
