the TS Warning say start time 8:00pm, so I guess 5 hours is enough buffer for the kids to reach home (school supposed to be 3km from home, at least at primary school level afaik).

Exactly. Everyone braying about this forgetting a parent has the option to keep their kids home. Closing schools when parents haven’t made any arrangements is worse

Depends on ur windows, and if u think there is enough loose debris around to be a threat.carluva wrote:With the warning in effect, should windows be boarded up and protected and "emergency" measures put in place?
This, it either weakened as it passed over trinidad, only to strengthen after, or it had passed between trini and bago... Mostly affecting tobago.Gladiator wrote:There was a second Bret in 2017 that hit Trinidad directly.

I think tobago got some minor damage
Was a very frightening experience...

You can try adhesive-back foam strip - a number of hardwares have locally.
Open the window, stick it on to the frame, close the window. It forms a seal - Helps your A/C work better too
