Tropical Storm Franklin is roaring toward the island of Hispaniola shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti amid fears it would trigger deadly landslides and heavy flooding in both countries.
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.
“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.
A tropical storm warning was in effect for the entire southern coast of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, as well as the entire northern Dominican coast. A tropical storm watch was posted for the Turks and Caicos Islands.
