I would like to extend my love and support to all the people who were affected the this disaster. Now is the time for unity to help one another to over come all suffering in this difficult time. May God give the citizens of Dominica the strength, and the Government the wisdom and knowledge to do the right thing to help the people over come their situation, and bring life back to the normal way of life. God bless Dominica, The Nature Island of the Caribbean.
i think that sometimes we are not really aware of what is happeing sofor God sake just pray and stop making smart comments,we need to say that God is a good God.
So sorry for everyone and their loses.
Ijust have to make an observation. Had it been about politics there would be more comments on here. Where have all the bloggers gone?
if yu cannot have audio why cal it a video. yu get zero points. no audio
I pray the ALL affected get back upand running soonest. This is the time EVERYONE need to help each other(put all differences aside).
God bless Dominica and its lovely people.

thank god this didnt happen during the night god is so god but i believe this is a warning and a sign jusus will return in a similer way unexpecting my people take note give ur life to jesus before it is to late study the bible books matt mark luck and john and follow jesus
alot of the damages to homes in mahaut and massacre is because people claim the river bed as part of their yard by puting concrete walls and making the river into a gutter, you never know when they will overflow..
now start bashing the truth
de jack@@s posing with a big smile on his face as if this is a joke.
I
ncredible force
question mark is a typo
i cant view the video? im not in DA by the way
ADMIN; Wait till the video load or refresh the page.
WHY ARE ALL THESE WOES HAPPENING TO DOMINICA???
Thank you DNO for those photos. It would be helpful though if the photos were labelled because while places like Layou River, Emshall, at least one of the Massacre photos may be easy to determine as well as the Warehouse disco area, it would be nice to know exactly what places the others represent.
I hope this is not asking too much.
WoW!
Do we need any more proof? Nature is posing a serious threat to mankind worldwide.
We should appreciate the forewarning signs. Our focus should sharpen for more of that scenario – mega storms, floods and superquakes. Let’s take heed. Clean up our acts where necessary, pray more, prepare to serve and help others readily and practice picking up the pieces.
Get into survival mode, people.
From the comfort of my desk in Florida I enjoyed, yet bewildered at the playlist of the ravages featured on your tube.
My heartfelt sympathy to those who suffered and lost during this rain disaster.
EJ
Thank you DNO
plenty thanks. have been waiting for the after effect pics
omg! I hope everyone came out of this ok.
respect
This looks like Otrobando St. Joseph
thank you dno. good for the archives
this is incredible,is like watching flooding in other countries,who would a believe this happening in dominica,times really changing.
ohhh
How do we measure rainfall in dominica? 2 to 4 inches of rain? NAAAAA!
I have a feeling that the Canefield-Mahaut-St Joseph area may have received about 4 inches (100 mm) in a few hours. It was the intensity, i.e. the amount we received in such a short space of time) that caused all that havoc. 4 inches of rain over 24 hours is bad enough, but falling in just 4-5 hours is BIG TROUBLE on an island like Dominica. I am surprised that the Met Office did not tel lus how much rainfal was recorded at Canfeield for that day. DNO you shoud try to find out and post that with a story.
They should make the driver of the school bus pay for the damage. Some people too wicked. Have no kinda sense whatsoever. smh
Very good DNO. Thanks
lord have mercy
yes lord dominica
