Waiting for the main event !!
Report from La Romana (Casa de Campo) is that the storm is blowing through very hard now. My brother reports he has just lost his coconut tree that produced the best coconuts in the world. Reports are that small ecotourism businesses in the area area affected and will need help in getting back going. This means the storm weather could be headed to Santo Domingo. Right now, just a drizzle of rain.
Same here in Santiago so far. Hope it stays like that...Honestly, in Santo Domingo if someone hadn't told you there was a hurricane going on, you wouldn't know there was. Yes it has been raining and it's a bit windy but nothing at all unusual or severe. The tornado we had a couple of weeks ago, and the torrential rain we had last week were way worse. We are very lucky indeed.
