Tornado - La Vega?

[SantiagoDR]

Just received a report by phone that about 3pm today a tornado hit in La Vaga.

Anyone have any news about this?

I heard there is a lot of damage. I know here in Jarabacoa we had one helluva of windstorm with rain around the same time, tons of lightning.

Sorry, I started a new thread about this in the Northeast Coast area before checking here. I apologize. I was just asking if anyone had any updated info. as my cable is not working (for 8 weeks now). I did hear that there are several injuries as well as deaths, and lots of damage. Anybody know anything more?

Oopps, sorry again. I had started the thread in the Central section, not the Northeast section.

Lots of injuries and some deaths are reported. Lots of damage.

It knocked out the lights in Santiago, and they have not been steady ever since.
A friend coming from Sto Dgo told me that the highway was blocked in La Vega and all traffic was being routed into one lane.
Our lights have been on and off, on and off...

Thanks for those updates. Yes, our lights are off and on, off and on too. But that's nothing compared to the devastation in the other areas. Let's hope it's over.
