I left 9am this morning to go south, couldn't go along the highway to caroni, so I went on the northbound lanes and reversed to caroni bridge. The traffic was standstill on both sides. Tried going through SMR and even went Sangre Grande to go through Biche. Everywhere was impassable. Anyone know if the water gone down on the highway as yet?

From what I was told the water on the highway is RISING as we speak. Some next river bank bust

[sMASH]

My vehicle can handle some high ish waters. The problem I have is not seeing where the depressions are, to drive.
If there were markers to show where the roads edge are, I can drive but without that. Not taking the chance

[pugboy]

Tide is rising right now, so water levels not gonna go down as rain that fell yesterday still draining off
Gotta pray no more rain at least until low tide

No help from the government in this area for whatever reason. But as expected the response to the PNM areas is swift

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[rspann]

The road to Toco ,the Port in Toco and the Highway to Sangre Grande more important than correcting all these problems

Hahaha 100% quality...I live in the vicinity of the passport office...so if by me floods.....Grande will drown

They have to kick mud water on them. Next two weeks is ten thousand each in flood compensation.

I don't understand going into flooded areas in Prado's. Why not in the army trucks if you really want to see the affected areas.

Meem geh dat

[*$kїđž!™]

This govt has really taken put ppl.thru hell in the last 3 years of office.....this could have been avoides or reduced if they.had proper maintenance of the waterways..
Smh...pnm...backward forever

Before anyone says these floods can't be prevented, I sigh in disbelief.

I'm a former civil engineering (changed careers but I didn't forget my sheit) and I can write a thesis on everything we are doing wrong regarding flooding. Firstly, let's dispell the myths - it is not developments on the hills, it is not people living in swamps and it is not inadequate box drains.

There are 3 main things we can blame here:
1. Improperly dredged rivers - this isn't a joke people, if the water can't flow out into the oceans fast enough, it will back up somewhere and break its banks.
2. Littering and clogging of drains, sort of related to point one, but the amount of debris that causes improper flow is staggering
3. Lack of water retention ponds - I for the life of me can't understand why we don't have more of these built. It isn't expensive, it isn't hard to maintain and it will solve most of our major flooding

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Is only retarded people in charge would try to divert a major river in the rainy season and to top it off build a bridge( coalmine river)...woft yes...glenda is a waste...mp for the area and no where to be found

[rspann]

I'm not blaming the govt for the floods, as no amount of cleaning would have helped in this case. But oh God, help the people who are stranded and send out the whole army ,coast guard , do something. Send out the police to control traffic, people were stuck for hours, close the roads ,don't make people have to reach the water ,in traffic, and then have to turn around.
