It looks as if we have dodged another bullet. Tropical Storm Fay has passed by Santiago with “minimal” rain being dumped on us. There have been three deaths in the Dominican Republic and the number is currently uncounted in Haiti. I have yet to visit Hoyo de Bartola, as with every rain there is major flooding there and often loss of some type. I am not sure if it is still in existence but the neighborhood had hired a “lifeguard” of sorts for when it rains. He had big rubber boots, a Dominican rain jacket, a baseball cap and a long rope. If anyone got swept away in a flood it was his job to rescue them.
Every rain I also pray for Adela my old woman friend who lives alone on the edge of the smaller tributary to the Hole’s main river. Adela’s house could fall into the tributary at any moment. See pictures on earlier posts for that. I will make sure I get down there or call Pastor Felix to see if he can stop by and see how she fared in the tropical storm
