Roseau was lashed by heavy rains on Friday morning as Dominica continued to feel the effects of Tropical Storm Ernesto.

Residents scurried around as best as they could and umbrellas sprouted all over.

The Met Office says cloudiness, showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds associated with Ernesto will continue to affect Dominica during the next 24 hours.

DNO was able to capture some photos on Friday morning.

    I am a Proud Dominican, but Oh boy!! Please learn to apprecciate what others do. The photos are great. there is rain. Some of those those that are negative still want their boss to send them home beacuse of rain. Complain complain. Learn to see the good in all things and give thanks, this small tip will make one a better person.
