The rains are continuing as a low pressure wave sweeps over the Dominican Republic. The National Emergency Commission (COE) reports a farmer was killed in a landslide on the roadway that goes from Jarabacoa to Manabao. Feliz Antonio Abreu was walking along the road when the mountainside collapsed killing him. Other reports cite 22 communities surrounding Jarabacoa have been cut off for nearly 20 days because of the difficulty to re-establish communication along the roadway to Manabao.
Rains and stormy weather continues to affect the entire country, according to the Diario Libre. According to Hoy, another person died in Puerto Plata and the rice farmers of the lower Yaque River are fearful of losing their crops, because the flood conditions are interfering with the harvest. Civil Defense director for Santiago, Maximo Ventura said that the rains had produced flooding along the Yaque and its tributaries and destroyed 65 houses in the city and in the Palo Verde section.
The low pressure ridge that had been located to the south of Haiti apparently mixed in with another low pressure system to the Northeast. The forecast is for light to moderate rainfall to continue, with occasional lightning and high winds.
