(1957-1971), François Duvalier, mishandling previous aid the US government gave them. Overall, 1,500+ people were injured, 850+ people were killed, more than 65,000 people were left homeless, and damage was estimated at $32.35 million (1966 USD, $260 million 2020 USD). September 11, 1967 – Hurricane Beulah makes landfall in the Barahona Province, impacting places still recovering from Hurricane Inez a year prior with winds. There was an estimated 200,000 evacuees, most likely from fears of another Inez; the system had 130-150 mile per hour winds before rapidly weakening of an eyewall replacement cycle. Due to swift evacuations only two people were killed, but flash flooding affected both southern Haiti and southern Dominican Republic, while an estimated 1,000 people were left homeless after Beulah. 1970s September 17, 1975 – Hurricane Eloise makes landfall in the northern Dominican Republic as a Category 1, causing widespread flooding throughout Hispaniola and killing 25 people. Most of the strongest winds remained off shore, though Cape Engaño recorded a wind gust of 50 miles per hour, on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, the city of Puerto Plata was also battered with high winds and heavy rain. Although it did widespread flooding and killed 25 people, no monetary damage totals are available. August 31, 1979 – Hurricane David makes landfall as an extremely powerful Category 5 hurricane with winds in the Dominican Republic, bringing extreme winds and significant rainfall. Santo Domingo had winds of 125 miles per hour while other places in the Dominican Republic had Category 5 hurricane-force winds. An estimated 70 percent of crops in the Dominican Republic were destroyed. Many roads were also destroyed by heavy rainfall, especially in the villages of Jarabacoa, San Cristóbal, and Baní. River flooding from Hurricane David's torrential rainfall took its toll, when the mountainous village of Padre las Casas had a flooded river take a church and a school, killing more than several hundred people; this is just one example of what happened when Hurricane David's heavy rainfall started to get out of control. Overall 200,000 people were left homeless, 2,000 people were killed, and damages mounted up to $1 billion (1979 USD, $3.5 billion 2020 USD). September 6, 1979 – Hurricane Frederic makes landfall in the same areas impacted by David just a week earlier as a tropical storm, buffeting the region with several days of rainfall. Despite this, damage in the Dominican Republic was
