Authorities in the Dominican Republic fanned out across the Caribbean country on Thursday to evaluate the damage Tropical Storm Franklin inflicted on crops and homes after causing heavy flooding that killed at least one person and left two others missing.
Crews evacuated 280 people to higher ground ahead of the storm, and another 351 residents sought safety in government shelters.Among them was Domingo Ogando Figuereo, who took shelter in a communal center in the city of San Cristobal with his wife and three children. The request was echoed by Santa Rosario Rodríguez, a homemaker who went to a shelter with her two daughters when the Nigua River by her house started to swell.The storm left hundreds of thousands of people without power and more than 1.6 million without water after knocking 120 aqueducts out of service.
As of Thursday morning, Franklin was about 55 miles east-northeast of Grand Turk Island. It had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and was moving north at 13 mph across open waters.
