The rains have caused severe flooding across the region, in particular Cap-Haïtien (Le Cap) and areas of Nord Department.  Reports of area river overflow come from the Haiti Libre( the Limé, Grande Rivière du Nord, Borgne and Bayeux).  A delegation headed by the Minister of Interior and Territorial Communities, Dr. Ariel Henry is on site to assess the damage and coordinate first aid.”   Cap Haitien is mountains on the west side so rains tend to run-off.. Hundreds of homes and businesses flooded.”.  The flooding has caused widespread damage. 2015 Rainflooding (Floodlist)
