I prefer tornadoes
They let you know they are coming.
Felt it very strongly here in the hills above Cabarete and Sosua. Power left immediately. I have a wood roof on each building here 30'x30' open underneath. It screamed and groaned like it was coming down on me in bed. When I looked, the pool had waves five feet high sloshing back and forth, I kid you not. We lost about two feet in thirty seconds. Lots of equipment, pictures, plates, glasses on the floor. It's a mess.
Alba felt it strongly in Santiago but says there is no damage to the house there at all.

P.S. Just had a slight aftershock here at 1:07AM as well.
