yes, gladiator, "could be" but doesn't ever seem to be...and THAT'S probably the whole point.
any damage in the Sosua area is historically and relatively very light compared to Haiti and other parts of the DR.

When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
Your opinions are not my problem...
Care to back up those words with proof of a recent hurricane?
Let me refresh your memory a bit.
I spoke about hurricanes, and you are talking about a tropical storm.
A hurricane warning, is just that.
A warning.
As you well know, Jeanne was a tropical storm when it came through here.
There is a difference, you know.
It may happen one day, and it may have even happened once in the past.
I have never seen one nor heard have one.
Have you?
Just trying to get the right info out.
There were a few post ealier on in this thread showing concern of a direct hit, crossing the mountains etc.
Some people might change their travel plans for nothing, if they thought there was a danger to our area, so it needed to be cleared up.
For those who are interested, after searching Google for any documented huricane having ever hit Sosua, so far, the only thing I have found is on this website,

The North Central Coast has never had a hurricane hit it directly.
but I will keep on searching and report if I find one.

However, the north coast of the Dominican Republic has not had major damage from a hurricane in the last 100 years so chances are you don't have to be concerned.

Are you guys seeing any feeder bands yet? The satellite imagery shows them starting to come thru but you can't always gauge their intensity.

Nothing technical. Feeder bands are just lines of thunderstorms with short term high winds that roll thru in a line pattern. The imagery shows them just reaching you guys. Sometimes they're torrential and sometimes just windy.
I think it is actually you who should show us some scientific article supporting your false statement: ‘Sosua and surrounding areas never get hit by hurricanes’.
I’ve already shown an advisory from the NHC as an example that, contrary to what you said, Sosua can be hit by hurricanes.
So you actually meant ‘I’ve never seen a hurricane in Sosua’, well that’s quite different from what your original statement implied – thanks for correcting yourself and clarifying what you meant.
On a different note, let’s not forget that tropical storms can fuck up your holiday in the same way as a hurricane: several days of mongering activities suspended.
Don't even pretend to know what I mean when I say something.
You're not even bright enough to put forth a valid argument, let alone read between the lines of what I say.
I meant exactly what I said and I said what I meant.
We dont get hit by hurricanes here in Sosua and surrounding areas.
You got a beef with that?
Prove me wrong.
But bring your IQ with you this time, because you didn't fair too well last time.
Still forecast to pass south of the island.
i don't recall, no do i find, that Rocky said that Sosua couldn't get hit by a hurricane, just that it never has.
while never is a long time i still don't see any proof to the contrary...
just a bunch of the old "baffle them with bullshit" from the naysayer(s).
also safe to assume that any reasonable person reading "never hit by a hurricane"
would realize that that may also imply never in the posters experience.
although i still don't see anyone showing when Sosua has been hit by a hurricane...anyone?
Someone on DR1 mentioned a rumour that Dean was taking a slight turn to the North, which it appears to be doing now,

but unless it changes radically, I can't see that it would cross an DR territory, but it may touch onto Haiti.
