Last summer while I was visiting the Dominican Republic my friend and I were traveling in a rental car to a vacation destination in a remote part of the island. As we were traveling the weather began to change, the streets became flooded, and the wind was moving the little fiat all over the pothole infested roads. There were intense lightning flashes, loud thunder crashes, and flying debris. As it turned out we were driving through a tropical depression. As I understand it a tropical depression is one step down from a hurricane. We did eventually make it to our destination but it took all night to get there because there were no places to stop.
