Rains drown village in the Dominican Republic

Frantic relatives dug through the mud for loved ones as a makeshift morgue filled up with about 100 corpses of those swept away in rains that devoured a small farming village in the Dominican Republic.

Nearly 200 others were missing, feared dead, hours after rains caused the Solie River to burst its banks before daybreak.

Only a torrent of debris-filled mud flowed where houses once stood.
