Landslide overnight in Dominica, no one reported hurt

#Dominica, January 17, 2018 – Loubiere – It could have been a far worse report coming out of Dominica when a looming hunk of dirt left hovering since Hurricane Maria finally collapsed, creating a scary situation in Loubiere as children played in the street.   Loubiere is one of the areas hardest hit by September 2017’s Hurricane Maria; the southern community recorded a high loss of life and human casualties in the fierce storm which decimated the island.

Dominica News Online reports that they first got information of the landslide on Monday night, their check on Loubiere on Tuesday morning revealed that thankfully, no one was hurt.    One lady reported hearing a large sound; it was the collapse of some dirt and there is another area which the neighborhood is reportedly monitoring, as it too is expected to fall.

Authorities are not yet officially commenting, but there is word that some people have been made to evacuated Loubiere following the landslide.   It was unclear if the collapse of the dirt was weather related, or just gravity at work.  It is forecast to rain today in Loubiere.
