Torrential rains caused renewed flooding in the towns of Licey al Medio and Tamboril over the weekend. However, residents had taken precautions and there were no reported injuries. The rains also forced the closure of the Luperon Tourist Highway, as new landslides ate away at the roadbed. In Tamboril, the Licey River flooded dozens of houses, but there were no injuries reported. The barrios of La Cacata, Calientisimo, Canca la Piedra and Boca de Licey were worst affected. Civil Defense teams were at hand to assist those areas and to help the people who had to leave their homes. Tamboril mayor Francisco Alvarez told El Caribe reporters that the floodwaters covered almost all of the previously flooded areas, but thanks to the new precautions and the fact that the 500 houses that had been destroyed were no longer in the flood plain, no injuries or loss of life were reported and physical damage was much reduced.
Along the Luperon Highway, new landslides near the entrance to the tiny village of Pedro Garcia cut traffic between Santiago and the north shore on this panoramic alternate route. At the time of the incident, Public Works was trying to fix the highway that had been damaged by previous rains. All their work was for naught as the roadway crumbled under the onslaught of the rains.
