The following is an excerpt from The Turks and Caicos Guide and The Puerto Rico Guide, both by Stephen J. Pavlidis
Along the northern shore of the Dominican Republic, the best hurricane hole is the harbor at Luperón, which is probably one of the best hurricane holes in the entire Caribbean . Along the southern shore of the Dominican Republic are several rivers that one could hide in, but after Hurricane Jeanne in 2004, that option does not seem as inviting anymore. Due to the tremendous amounts of rainfall that Hurricane Jeanne brought to the island of Hispaniola, huge walls of water flushed down these rivers destroying shoreside facilities and in one case an entire bridge.
