Thursday afternoon and evening tremendous downpours, that lasted for hours, hit the north coast, therefore also Sosúa.
Almost all villages and hamlets on the north coast were affected by floods because in many places the drains were clogged, or otherwise could not handle the tremendous amount of water.
In Sosúa Abajo, Villa Bethania, and Maranatha the water in the streets stood knee-deep and many houses suffered flooding.
In El Batey, the tourist center of Sosúa, there was hardly any flooding.
Mayor Ilana Neumann had the sewage system cleaned and improved last year.
Rain in Sosúa
Therefore most of the tourists in Sosúa could keep their feet dry.
For this week, fortunately better and sunnier weather is expected.
