Storms and Floods

Tropical storm wreaks havoc over Dominica


A violent storm moving across the Caribbean island of Dominica on Friday has resulted in casualties as mudslides have destroyed roads and rivers have run amok. The severe rainfall has caused landslides in the localities of Bagatelle, Petite Savanne, Delices, Portsmouth and Capuchin. The storm and heavy rainfall are a result of a low pressure trough system moving across the region.
