    August, look out you must.
    Hope it will not strengthen into a hurricane; also that, be it a storm, it will bypass D/ca.
    By now, Dominicans know how to prepare while praying it will not affect the country.

      Do you remember in previous years hurricanes/storms were given women’s names? In fairness to all, it was decided that they should also be given names of men.
