Swing north

Ting may pass north mostly. Last year, north was under pressure, south only the usual suspects got high ish water.

Any sat pics

Hmm starting to look interesting

Yeah it starting to look lil troubling

Tuner forecasters versus MET Office forecasters!!!!

Bai I trying to use meh own geography skills(which is none) cuz met office like they have no more updates

The MET office has to wait on the USA to tell them what to say.

to be fair our Met Office doh have ah plane actually flying into d ting and making measurements so they do depend on NHC for that data

i figured we did a more accurate job. it really did stay mostly norht with limited effects in south, to the effect that it seemed normal for south

[redmanjp]

So are we still on Red Alert for Riverine Flood or not?

[Sundar]

Sundar,

Wey u dey?

This is enough rain or you wanted more?

I want more.

[sMASH]

rohani said we got more than last year, but thier works caused it to not have such drastic effect as last year. they said last year had a shorter duration of rain

[pete]

Last year we had lots of rain in the week leading up to the couple of days of very heavy rainfall.

It was clear that they didn't do enough to maintain the watercourses from the time they came into power to that horrible flooding event. At least they did the required work to reduce the effect this time.

[Joshie23]

We can hope. Hope it makes it across.


Then maybe hunte (wanted to write the other thing) will say the reservoirs filled

Why, exactly?

[matr1x]

Because no matter how much rain fall, the reservoirs just not filling.


Also, alt+delete the illegal Venezuelan immigrants

because a natural disaster has discernment such that 1) it dumps it -- millimetres of rain in the reservoirs alone and 2) only the illegal Venezuelans are displaced. I know you're trolling, but I have time.

Le *unte speaks...

Le Hunte: Dam filled with heavy rain
Shane Superville

There was at least one benefit to the heavy rainfall experienced over the past 48 hours and that was the return of one of the Water and Sewage Authority's (WASA) reservoirs with water, according to Public Utilities Minister Robert Le Hunte at a press conference this afternoon.

Responding to questions from reporters at the Ministry of National Security, Abercromby Street, Port of Spain, Le Hunte said while some dams have shown some increase in capacity, the Hollis and Navet dams were still below sufficient levels.

"Some of our dams are doing a little better, but it means in some areas we are still below the levels, especially in the areas of the Hollis and Navet dams continues in spite of being filled up by 100 million gallons of rainfall, they are still way below the required levels."

He said despite this shortfall he was pleased with the responses of officials and technicians from the TT Electricity Commission (TTEC) and WASA and promised that those without power would be reconnected before the end of the day.

He also said recorded rainfall surpassed the average expectation by 20 per cent.

The first part was trolling.

2nd part was the delivery of a notice that illegals building and dumping building materials in waterways.

Now I know some of you will jump out and say that trinis do it too, but if they are such a good addition to the fabric of Trinidad life, why are they so dirty? You can call them immigrants all.you want. But don't forget illegal.

I don't know if a Venezuelan or immigrant in general hurt you, but anybody dumping anything in a watercourse..foreigner or not, are the scum of the earth and should be dealt with as such. Since you have this information at hand though, be a good patriotic TRINIDADIAN, pull out your smartphone when you see anyone dumping and send the video the media houses/authorities, let's embarrass them and make Trinidad clean again.

[PariaMan]

Over the years I have seen a lot of Trinis dumping in rivers

As a matter of fact this predates venes

Years ago I remember passing Aranguez and an east indian guy walked with a bucket of garbage to the bridge and just emptied it into the river

[The_Honourable]

North south highway was clear. 30 mins from Mt Hope to Sando.

Re: Le Hunte: Dam filled with heavy rain

Now to waste it in leaks...

Why can't they truck some of the water from these retention ponds to the reservoirs?

[Gladiator]

Reddo... Stick to politics. That is an impractical solution that just does not make sense.

Is it more practical for us to run dry.

Dams running dry isn’t practical.

We truck water everywhere,
If we in the sheit for supply then practical isn’t the issue.
