Visibility was low this morning. Couldn't see past 10 lampposts down the road, if that can be used as a measurement lol.

The weather is only adding to the misery many folks are going thru to get to the bank etc.
Our older folks are really under pressure and getting wet for them can lead to illness.

^ Ain't nothing political about this rain. It's been falling non-stop like monsoon since about 3am. NON-STOP like October 2018. Floods are going to be bad and Rowley or Kamla can't do anything about it. When the rain does stop it will take up to 48 hours for the mountains to drain. How the Government responds to this disaster, like Oct 2018 will be political.

[toyolink]

Floods!
This happening now is the last thing we need on top of all the licks sharing on our people.
I pray we catch a break.

[Chimera]

Someone make a nice fish broth and invite me to pass tru na.

Final Full Moon of the Decade: The ‘Cold Moon” on 12/12 at 12:12 a.m.
POSTED 5:11 AM, DECEMBER 11, 2019, BY DARA BITLER, UPDATED AT 07:51AM, DECEMBER 11, 2019
DENVER– Well, at least it’s not going to be on Friday the 13th. The final full moon of 2019 and this decade will be on December 12 at 12:12 a.m.

The full moon is called the Cold Moon.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the Algonquin tribes of what is now the northern and eastern United States, named the full Moon in December or the last full Moon of the fall season the Cold Moon, due to the long, cold nights.

Riverine Flood Alert #1 - Yellow Level
Flood - Wed, Dec 11, 2019 12:00 PM to Thu, Dec 12, 2019 2:00 PM
Status - Actual Message Type - Alert Alert - Flood Response - Monitor Urgency - Expected Severity - Moderate Certainty - Likely Category - Met

Start date (local time) Wed, Dec 11, 2019 12:00 PM
End date (local time) Thu, Dec 12, 2019 2:00 PM
Headline Riverine Flood Alert #1 - Yellow Level
Description Light to moderate rainfall is expected to continue intermittently over the next several hours. Landslides/landslips are possible in areas so prone. While the main river courses remain contained at this time, smaller rivers and/or tributaries can reach maximum capacity leading to flooding in surrounding areas. Some areas in south Trinidad are already inundated due to localized ponding and this may be further exacerbated at high tide.
Instructions Assess your environment and river levels. Monitor weather updates via the TTMS at www.metoffice.gov.tt or https://www.facebook.com/TTMetService. For additional information on instructions, visit www.odpm.gov.tt
Area description Surrounding areas of smaller rivers and tributaries, particularly in southern Trinidad.

Isolated showers and tstorms are elsewhere in the Caribbean east of 66.5W and north of 15N. Drier weather is over the north-central and northwestern Caribbean. Scattered showers and isolated tstorms are affecting the far SW Caribbean in association with the east Pacific monsoon trough.
