[NewsWhore]

The Emergency Operations Center (COE) is warning people living along the coastline of the Dominican Republic about the danger of very high waves from the shores of La Altagracia (Bavaro, Miches) in the East to Montecristi in the Northwest. In fact, the COE is advising people not to go to the beaches until the situation is reviewed, and has banned bathing along the shores from Montecristi to Higuey. The National Meteorology Office is maintaining its advisory on high winds and waves along the northern shoreline from Cabo Engano to Montecristi. They say that waves of between 12 and 15 feet are expected, as well as coastal flooding. The Weather Department says that the southern coastline is not affected by the unseasonal phenomenon.
