If anyone expirieced the following back in 1998.With all the current hurricanes....i remembered that back in 1999 a hurricane named Charlie passed by DR causing enormous damage to the island. Most of the deaths i believe could of been prevented but due to lack of weather advisory a lot of lives were lost.
3 to 4 days after the storm the country did not trust anything the news would say,because when the hurricane was coming they told everyone not to worry.
On or about the fourth day a rumor was spread that a Tsunami was going to hit the island. I remember visiting my aunt who lives withing walking distance from the Acuario in Santo Domingo............thats right next to the ocean :nervous:
I remember people gathering what little they could to head into higher ground, others went to hospitals and took their sick relatives out. At the time i was a bit scared (DR is such an insecure country) but when i think of the things i saw that morning at about 4am all i can do is laugh.
We had to slap my cousin because she became hysterical........peoples houses were broken into and the tigeres made a pretty buck with the things they stole.
Did anyone else expirience this in 1998?
