Reuters captured the devastation in the Dominican Republic after Tropical Storm Laura tore through the Caribbean, delivering stunning drone and ground-level footage of flooded residential areas. One of the worst affected areas in the country is Azua Compostela, where residents waded through waist-deep waters to salvage whatever belongings they could from homes. Laura has left more than a million in the country without electricity, forced more than a thousand to evacuate and caused several homes along the Isabela River to collapse, authorities said.
