I didn't think that the DR was much of a tornado alley at all. This was also accompanied by flooding of the river in Tamboril center forcing evacuation of that area.

when I was coming to santiago from santo domingo wednesday evening, I ran into heavy rain from bonao to la vega. Then there was a patch on the highway right at the entrance of la vega (coming from Bonao) where it seemed like a tornado had touched down. A huge tree had fallen on the highway, covering the whole santiago bound lanes. Then there was destruction of other trees and branches on the road. So I am not too sure about santiago, but this area was surely hit.

Some sort of "twister" certainly hit the area of La Vega. And parts of Santiago, perhaps. Not much news. No fatalities or injuries so far. One poorly written report cited "Colonel Juan Mendez" of the COE, and he has been a general for over a year...so much for accurate reporting..
