Today is the anniversary of one of the deadliest hurricanes to hit DR. Not many alive today who remember it. My mother-in-law (deceased) was 10, and she told me how one of her older brothers went out to buy kerosene when they thought it was over. Sadly, it was the eye and the winds picked up as he returned and a flying sheet of metal roofing sliced his leg open. No meds, hospitals in shambles, he died.
As an aside, this was the same year Trujillo came to power.
