Guess Fiona moved too fast and looks like the eye is very small, more likely less than 5 miles wide so thats is one of possible. Let me know the updates after the second band passes by.
DR Govt. Plan Social is already preparing help bags for affected families:

This is from just a few minutes ago. He said he never saw winds this fast in Samaná and he has been there for 20 years.
Looks like every utility pole going into Las Galeras is down.
Edustr/Ednorte/EdSeste is gonna be busy once storms pass. Lots of replacement and repairs up there
They can't even get the power to work 24/7 in the capital, I dread to think how long it will be before they get it sorted out
Update: The 2nd band on the left is starting to picking up with winds of 70mph and its going towards between Rio San Juan-Nauga will be hit at or about 5-7pm and that is where the hardest and serve will occur that time.
Anything is related to power service in DR is irrelevant. Almost impossible to have a true 24/7 in DR, once for all.
according to Windy.com, the eye is off the coast of Samana.
Power is out in Las Terrenas. not sure how my wife got the call

Update from NOAA: 19 Sep 2022 - 15:00 UTC ...CENTER OF FIONA NEAR THE NORTHERN COAST OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC... ...CATASTROPHIC AND LIFE-THREATENING FLOODING CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF PUERTO RICO... As of 11:00 AM AST Mon Sep 19 the center of Fiona was located near 19.1, -69.2 with movement NW at 8 mph. The minimum central pressure was 980 mb with maximum sustained winds of about 85 mph.
The eye is in the water. Look at the dark purple band, that's the 2nd band and its very heavy and serve. It'll hit Rio San Juan/Nagua in few hours.
Looks like the eye is moving more to the north or NNW now:
After much frustration, I have resigned myself to that. We are now going on 4 hours with no power. I need to get that generator.
Pretty windy and wild in Cabrera now!! Can't see past my own property but so far I just have a lot of branches down everywhere.. nothing too bad... just a big mess (glad we canceled school tomorrow, as well as today). Think we are about to get the worst of it in the next hour or so as it passes by our point here in Cabrera.
