Heavy rains inundate houses
It started to rain Sunday and went on with little interruptions until Tuesday (November 4). The water came gushing down. On Wednesday a pale sun came through and at last it was dry. The different rivers on the north coast, the Rio de Sosúa, Yaque del Norte and Camú could not process the water and burst their banks. Hundreds of homes were thus inundated by a swirling stream of water. The water stood knee high in the houses.

The floods were so sudden that many families could not bring their household goods on time in safety. Furniture, refrigerators, kitchens and beds were inundated by water and mudslides. But also crops like yuca, sweet potatoes, platanos and fruit trees were destroyed by the swirling waters. The governor Ivan Rivera of the Puerto Plata province, asked President Danilo Medina to offer assistance for the families who are so affected by this natural disaster.
