It wasn't THAT strong. Flooding, yes, but unless things are made out of paper over there they shouldn't be "destroyed".

100 m.p.h. can destroy wooden homes quite efficiently. Just look at those F-1 midwest tornadoes that do significant damage. I wouldnt call those homes made out of paper

I believe there was another post earlier concerning the damage which stated they had received winds of 96mph. There were pictured of the extreme damage.

There is a lot of poverty in DR so I can imagine destruction specially if you loose everything you own to flooding. Lets not forget that wind is not the ONLY devastating factor of storms.
