I understand that Nagua is BELOW sea level. I also know that some years ago Matanza was destoyed nearby!
Does anyone know or have an opinion if this means that beachfront land in Nagua is always in danger of being destroyed by storms? Thanks for your reply!
Nagua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaNagua is located below sea level, prompting many to believe that the town faces an imminent flood that could destroy a substantial part of town. In fact, during the reign of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1930-1961), the neighboring town of Matanza (also below sea level) was destroyed by flooding. Many residents of Matanza chose to resettle in the area that is now Nagua. Matanza (now known as "Matancita") is now a small town just south of the city limits of Nagua. ?

And to those who will probably jump in & say "It will never happen" I draw their attention to a certain publication that has been around for many a year - the Bible. It has happened before (if you are a religious person).

How the world community is behaving (or should that be MIS-behaving?) with wars, greed, excessive growth etc, could well be causing some displeasure up above (whichever ONE you believe in) and a second flooding of the world might be due over the next 50 years or so.

Time for a bit of serious reflection on the way we behave to each other perhaps???????

The DR should be OK - there are some wonderful carpenters here who CAN build reliable yolas . Now, where's the nearest REALLY high mountain!! ~ Grahame.

Well according the Bible The Great Flood will never happen again : Genesis 9
God's Covenant With Noah

11: I establish my covenant [ver 16] [Isa 24:5] with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth. [Ge 8:21] [Isa 54:9]
12: And God said, This is the sign of the covenant [ver 17] [Ge 17:11]I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14: Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15: I will remember my covenant [Ex 2:24] [Lev 26:42, 45] [Dt 7:9] [Eze 16:60] between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
16: Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant [ver 11] [Ge 17:7, 13, 19] [2Sa 7:13 ; 23:5] between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.
17: So God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant [ver 12] [Ge 17:11] I have established between me and all life on the earth... Or should the Bible be re written again
