Thursday March 15th, Puerto Plata was hit with a freakishly strong rain storm that dumped tons of rain in a very short amount of time. A tropical downpour. The results can be seen in these enclosed shots from helicopter footage – supplied by our fine Architect Eric Urbahan. The Playa Dorado golf course and surounding hotel/condo community was flooded very quickly. After a very wet winter the ground was still very saturated and created immediate pooling of water and flooding. Only goes to show that the tropics are beautiful but weather is a constant changing element there. Fortunately we are situated on a sloping hillside and we will not have these kinds of issues. We understand that after a few days the water disapated and dried up over time.
