More than a few vehicles have ended up in this river and hundreds of enslaved people died building the bridge and the road

rain, flooding and landslides are the problem and more so in some parishes. It will rain until Thursday. Cry for the poor in this island.
The good news - 60mph😀

because a huge boulder fell off the hillside in the gorge and will have to be broken up and lots of fallen trees have also blocked the road. No one is rushing with the river in spate.
These days more people use the highway.
