Comments:	Two weeks of heavy rain in the Dominican Republic resulted in sudden serious flooding affecting most of the country. The areas reporting the worst damage include the northeast, southeast, west and eastern valley of Ciboa, with the area of Jimani, near the border with Haiti, being the worst hit (the Jimani River burst its banks on Monday at dawn). As a result, water hurtled through the homes in the nearby valley flooding hundreds of homes, and sweeping away whole families.
