I was unfortunate enough to witness this myself in September 2004 as I was in Sosua when hurricane Jeanne hit the DR. Samana was the most damaged, but it also affected many other towns, including Sosua (blown down trees, torn off roofs, flooding, etc).
According to what some locals told me, Jeanne was relatively mild compared to other hurricanes that they had seen in the town in the past.
And for those who are curious: yes, when a hurricane hits the town it spoils the fun for a few days because most girls don’t like to get out of their houses while there are 70-80 mph winds or 2-day long, non-stop torrential rains.
