They got there…. The road is OK but obviously full of debris from fallen trees and lamp/electical posts. As you enter in La Romana the basketball stadium lost all the roof and basically the skeleton if the only thing standing. As you reach Casa de Campo the Free Zone shows heavy damage. The hotel is devastaded the "casitas" located at the entrance of the hotel are all heavely damaged the front desk and club house are damaged the lago grill "Hoyo 19" collapsed. Golf villas are missing their roofs in the mayority of the cases. The old Hotel Romana lost part of their roof all the residences of the Central Romana people are quite damaged. My bother and his wife (thank god they are OK) lost part of their roof. The Centrel Romana school is quite damaged they estimate @ 1 month to repair. At the airport the Hangar collapsed the control tower is gone.
