At about 7:42am on Sunday, Dominicans were awaken to earthquakes which later resulted in many persons losing their homes as a result and devastation all over the island.Although Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit urged Dominicans to remain calm, its very hard to do so since this was the first time that the small island was shaken up by an earthquake with such magnitude. Reports indicates that the French neighboring islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe also felt the earthquake and a three year old child in Guadeloupe was even reported dead. Antigua and St Kitts felt it too. Floods and heavy rains continued even hours after the incident occurred as landslides continued all over the islands, especially in the northern part of Dominica. Reports also indicates that two church in Portsmouth collapsed. The Methodist and Roman Catholic Church just could not withstand what the act of God brought about. Luckily there were no reported deaths in Dominica but the patients at the Portsmouth Hospital were being transported to a Doctors home nearby. As late as 1:33 pm reports of floods continued and persons from Layou, Fond Cole, Bellvue Chopin and others are now homeless. Reports further states that animals were seen flowing downstream the Layou River.
