Rains cause floods and chaos on Santiago’s main avenues
Santiago. – The intense rains recorded on Thursday afternoon in Santiago due to a trough affecting the national territory, caused flooding in the main streets and avenues, generating heavy chaos in vehicular traffic.
In roads such as Circunvalación Sur, Salvador Estrella Sadhalá and 27 de Febrero, large puddles formed that hindered mobility, left vehicles stranded, and forced passersby to seek refuge from the rising water.
The rainfall began around 4:00 p.m. and lasted for almost an hour, affecting large areas of the city.
According to forecasts from the Dominican Republic’s Meteorology Institute (Indomet), these rains are part of a pattern of atmospheric instability that will continue to affect the area.
The authorities recommended that the population take the necessary precautions to avoid incidents in the face of possible new floods.
