We have had 8 inches of rain in 3 days and it is still pouring. The ground is so saturated that there is nowhere for it to drain to as you can see. The road is a river but it has been much higher!
It is very dark at midday and we might lose power soon as the lights are flicking, but we have a 12kw generator with enough diesel for 40 days. After Olga we had no mains power for 50 hours.
I saw a report recently that the Dominican Republic might become a desert in 20 years if global warming continues - fat chance - where do they get these experts?
