“We’re scared of the river,” said one government employee who's had to flee her home three times before during previous storms.
In the Dominican Republic, officials shuttered schools, government agencies and several airports with at least 24 of the country’s 31 provinces under red alert. By early Wednesday, more than 40 aqueducts were out of service because of heavy rains, affecting more than 830,000 customers.
“We’re scared of the river,” said Doralisa Sánchez, a government employee who lives near the Ozama River that divides the capital and has had to flee her home three times during previous storms. Others, like businesswoman Albita Achangel, worried they had nowhere to go if the waters start rising.The storm worried thousands of Dominicans who live in flood-prone areas.
