ROSEAU, Dominica (AP) — Tropical Storm Ophelia caused flooding and cut off several communities on the eastern Caribbean island of Dominica as it regained strength, officials said Wednesday.
About 1,600 people were stranded and nearly a dozen cars washed away, said Nathaniel Isaac, the island’s disaster preparedness coordinator. Schools, businesses and government offices were closed Wednesday, and Isaac warned of increased flooding as the storm continued to swirl northward away from land.
