The economy of the Sosúa - Cabarete region even seems to be in danger due to the enormous amounts of rain that have fallen over the past 4 weeks.
According to some, it has only been dry for 4 days in the past 4 weeks.
The soil is completely saturated and the rainwater drainage system in the area is still not in order.
Sosúa and Cabarete play a very important role in the economy of the north coast, so the government should think about a decent drainage system.
There was a plan 10 years ago to work on that, but nothing came of it.
Yesterday the weather was very bad again, flooding everywhere.
At the Sea-Horse Ranch everything was flooded, at Playa Chiquita and the main street Pedro Clisante there was also a whitewater course.
Something really has to be done, and quickly.
