I just spoke to someone in Barahona and they have no kind of communication. Powerlines are down and bridges to Azua are flooded. Debris covers the Duarte, banks are closed because there is no power, so that if you have no cash on hand, you have problems.
Verizon's communication post is down and only Orange works. Very few establishmenst have backup power by now.
They have had rain since Saturday evening and althoughit wasn't considered a hurricane this storm lingered in the area for a long time.
