Thumbs up HUGE Thank You!

For all the weather and damage updates from our posters.

It's times like this that you really appreciate what a diverse community we have here. From Ex-pats, Dominicans, hotel operators, tourists, local associations/businesses and all those in-between.

At one stage yesterday we had over 800 people simultaneously on the board, more than for the May 16th elections. It was one of the busiest days we have had on DR1, over 400,000 page views.

If anyone has any suggestions how we can improve the reporting or coverage in these types of situations, please post your thoughts.

Thanks, DR1.

Those photos are awesome! A couple of those Santo Domingo waves were breathtaking, even on line. I hope it's ok if I saved a couple. I'd like to try and paint them.

A huge thank you for your website and all the updated information from you and your resident posters, many on our tourista forums http://debsdrtravels.proboards35.com/index.cgi posed many questions as to what was happening which we answered via information from our friends ar DR1, I even hosted some of your damage pictures on another site as not to infringe on your bandwidth.

My thanks my friend
