Dominica was under a floodwarning yesterday as the island was being a affected by a trough system in the area.
Below are pictures from Castle Bruce and the Kalinago territory that depict some of the damage caused in those areas.

What the new President saying? No comment?
Nothing, she will keep her mouth shut. She only speaks, when her master allows her to do so. She always was going to be a puppet on a string.
That is why UWP can never win another election.Too much fake news,propaganda and lies.The majority of Dominicans are not going to fall for that BS repeated over and over again.Where and who prints Dominican passports?What is the process before one can get a Dominican passport?Who and where does the Dominican passport go to after it is printed?How many agents and subagents are involved in the CBI?If you know Skerrit has billions hidden in a Swiss bank,then go to court with the evidence,get a JUDGE to issue a warrant andforce the bank to disclose the billions and get the billions.Very simple.A handful of uneducated UWP aholes repeating foolishness from people more foolish than they are.Just talking a load of crap,no evidence,only aholes do that.Tell,and convince educated people how Skerrit selling passports,and how he happen to have billions in a Swiss bank.
So, since Roosevelt said: the reason he bought his honorary Ph. D’s is all due because he made Dominica the first resilient nation on the planet!
Well then; if ours is the first and only resilient nation on planet earth, how come all the damage we are viewing, none of the damage areas were able to bend and not cracked up, how come the concrete blocks put together as bridges, and the asphalt are so easily broken to pieces and washed away?
I reiterate anyone who entertain this nonsensical stupid idea of resilient buildings, and a resilient land is a damn fool!
Do we have such stupid people in our country?
I don’t know; what I do know is there is something called environmental testing, if one do not have an environmental testing laboratory, or facility, to test resiliency of these resilient homes, roads, and bridges, agricultural plants, and people who cannot die because they are resilient too, the author and originator of that nonsensical crap Roosevelt need to shut up!
I want to know who is the block head that approve those drains. we regressed intellectually to it seems. how can you build such drains in a place with high rainfall and expect to control erosion caused by water. I am sorry but that is a waste of money and tells there some brain dead people in the place.
I empathize sincerely with everyone who suffered damages and loss by this most recent rainstorm.
In recent times we have heard the incumbent administration beating their chest about
making Dominica the first completely resilient nation in the world. This is irrefutable evidence that their optimistic rhetoric is solely intended to deceive the gullible.
The defective PM says extraordinary impressive things to distract your mind from the very harsh reality of life in Dominica. A picture is worth a thousand words. Starboy of Stupidity lies to shield his eggshell ego from the raw pain of the truth.
Look at the mess and they are asking people with a straight face to come home. They have no shame. They messed the country up completely and all of a sudden they realise they need outside investment. Let me suggest Skerrit to raid one of his Swiss accounts and invest a few billion. From what I hear you ask. Good question, I say, but the fact that he can’t account for our CBI money might answer that question.

Climate resilience does NOT mean that rains and floods will not damage roads and bridges. I know you are not bright, but even from you, such an idiotic comment is alarming. Too much zayid during the Independence celebrations, maybe?
Well tell us what it means, Peeper. Maybe in your opinion it means that your CM is quite right to siphon off 50% of our CBI money. You are one braying donkey!!!
Your expression of joy is evident. Making a country completely climate resilient is not a one time project. It also does not mean that because the Prime Minister says he wants Dominica to be the first climate resilient country in the world, it will not happen just because he said it the work has to be done. There are many Departments that have to be addressed to achieve full climate resilience. You have to look at energy, housing, food supply, supply of medical services……proper zoning by discouraging people from building in vulnerable areas. It is a work in progress, but for people like you the only problem is Skeritt.
