According to the Periodico el Nacional, the CAASD has turn off water supply to avoid damage. So we are advised to ration our water... El Nacional, la voz de todos
Hi there, my husbands family's house is built right in front of what used to be a river and was then filled with waste (something like that) and when it rains it fills up so I would imagine with this sort of rain it would be pretty bad? Does anyone know the Barrio Duarte area of Herrera? My husbands really worried and as he know's the area (he lived there for 27 years) I don't think he would worry about it for no reason.
I am in the UK, but not London (York) I can imagine what you mean about taking sun for granted - well I wish I could its so cold here right now!
Thanks
Kate
I know that the concierge of my building lives in Herrera, so I asked him how the area had fared. I specifically asked him about Barrio Duarte and his comment was "estaba como un mar", meaning that area was very flooded.
Yes, I forgot to cancel the wake-up call. So much for our lie-in Also, the time-stamp on DR1 posts is one hour behind the actual time. It appears to have gone on to daylight saving time together with the US.
The US haven't changed time yet neither has Canada. This year it's going to be next weekend (Saturday to Sunday)

emee34, you were asking about Moca also. Some info here: Bienvenidos al Hoy Digital
Hoy says 600 homes flooded, tens of people disappeared, 1000 families affected, agricultural losses due to river rising including loss of lots of hens and baby chicks. Diario Libre says 1500 homes damaged in Moca Noticias - Cibao: Siete muertos y trece desaparecidos
There are pics on both links.
Papers reporting that water being released from the dams in a controlled fashion - some discussion on TV tonight that this would have been better done in the daylight than in the dark.
Question for moderator - would it be better to have a separate thread for tourists asking about future holiday weather? It's just that when there are relatives from outside DR seeking info about communities & family members about whom they have real concerns, they may feel that the questions about future holiday weather are, well, a little insensitive............?
Thanks so much for this info. I was able to reach one brother-in-law today and everyone is ok. Thanks again - please be safe down there.
