Rains!
Maranatha, next to Sosua Abajo. Puerto Plata. Where us soon to be much poorer people live.
Was it always like this? I remember May rains but not weekly April rains. Maybe my memory is failing.
It seems like an abnormally rainy April here in Cabarete to me.
It is quite wet at the moment but not an abnormal, it's all part of a bigger cycle, remember that about 4,000 years ago it was late April, early May that Noah gathered his family and flock to board the ark. It's certainly very unfortunate that many are suffering hardship and loss from the swollen rivers all the while the country itself is in dire need of all this humidity.
I heard that was a scam.
Rumor was Noah was harking a boat load of defective rain coats.
When the rains started he gathered his family and flock to board the ark and leave before the folks realized the rain coats were defective.
So this is how bad the daily and nightly rains are here.
I was going to log in to dr1, but instead of putting dr1 in my browser, I put the word “rain.”
It is consuming me!!!

You must be getting some sun today. Most of the country is getting some sun today. My avocado trees love all this rain, but my tomato plants don't.
Funny Bob, when you wrote this we had totally gray skies and intermittent rains. I left to go down to the ATM in Cabarete and there, nothing but sun. Fortunately, when I got back to Jamao, there was sun here too.
Getting to that ark was quite a walk for the penguin couple.
the govrerment sent a notice to the pharmacys in Santiagp 2 weeks ago, that the water sent by by the water company was contaminated... and yes it was...........
Lately Corraplata can't deliver water in Los Cerros.
So I will bite the bullet and start trucking it in - but no longer pay Corraplata for non-service. They can come pull their useless meter
I am curious as to when the water here is not contaminated. Where I am it comes from the river. There is little to no treatment based upon how often it is the lovely brown color...

The authorities ordered the release of 50 cubic meters per minute from the Taveras dam , to the Yaque del Norte River , due to the increase in flow caused by the rains .
The director of Civil Defense in Santiago, Francisco Arias, explained that this amount of water going into the Yaque del Norte River does not represent a danger, for the moment, for the communities located downstream.
While the Committee of Dams and Reservoirs is raising the alarm so that there is no panic, but that people remain attentive to the information issued by that body, especially those who live in the communities of Baitoa , Sabana Iglesia, the lower part of Bella Vista, Rafey and the Northwest Line.
The mayor of the municipality of Castañuelas , Winston Álvarez, said that they activated the Prevention, Mitigation and Response Committee in order to inform the population of what is happening, without alarming the community members of that area.
He said that they will take all the precision of the location, taking into account that every time these times of heavy rain arrive, the town of Castañuelas , due to its geographical location, usually floods, so they already have a handle on this situation.
