Was in the dominican republic over the last 2 weeks. Survived TS HANNA, Thunder lightening and rain like ive never seen before, As for ike.... let me tell you about ike...... Just to let you know how powerful it was just of the coast of the dominican coast, the sea swells were huge. Its a third world country as far as im concerned, so pictures of devastation look bad , because they live in badly built homes made of corrogated iron and timber. But the flooding was truly amazing. If it happened here, just the thoughts of it :o
