2018 Hurricane Season
We finally got a decent rain last night. Not enough to convince the grass to come out of dormancy but the remnants of Beryl may fix that. In my area, we need a day of steady, moderate rain to clean the streets, water the plants and clear away all this residual Saharan dust.
We do not need overflowing rivers, landslides and flooded roadways. Maybe Beryl will help and not hinder.

most of ex Baeryl will stay north of Hispaniola, but some decent downpours should refreshen in underangerous amounts at least some parts of the Island.
over all Hispaniola will stay very dry, the early this sping prognostics of a very dry/towards draught period for this summer seem to become a correct Outlook.
we have to take every bit of wáter we can gratefully.

wow, thats tough.
i have plenty of wáter here, with the heated pool filled to the top.
"here" is actually for some weeks in Germany, lol.
Sorry to hear that CB. We didn't have city water for 3 years. We installed rain gutters with downspouts to Leaf Catchers that takes out the larger stuff. Then into a First Flush system with PVC pipe that takes the first XXX gallons of dirtier water and when the pipe is full, diverts the cleaner water to our cistern. 1" of rain = 4,000 gallons in our case. 0" = 0 gallons.
Both these items are cheap, easy to install and found on Amazon.
Our cistern pumps water through a couple of filters an a UV system so we have safe drinking water from all indoor faucets.
We also got a permit for our own well on our property. Had it drilled on a Sat... just in case "someone" was around. We are 60' above sea level and drilled only 35' but the water is very salty with lots of other "stuff" in it. Valve system to water lawns via well pump or goes thru a separate system with a large filter, UV and RO systems and is 99.5% pure into the cistern. I'm guessing that you would have to drill a little deeper.
Water company says that we owe them over DP $250,000 for those 3 years of not supplying water (adding more every month since) and want to know where we get our water from. We don't answer at all other then to talk with our atty or GOD and just walk away from them. We had our atty. serve them papers within 6 months of no water voiding the contract on several grounds but they still refuse to accept that. They keep billing. We don't care. Waiting for them to have God direct us. lol
Good luck. Sorry to get off subject here.
They had shutoff the whole town for 5 days to redo some pipes but the rest of town is back up. You ahould be contacting CORLaVega
yeah.
the weak tropical wave passed by and it should stay that way as the remnants of Beryl pass by later today and tonight.
I had enough. Don't want more...
Wow, sorry to see this. Is that your car in garage?
