Are there any alternative routes to get around the highway floods?
Or is North to South completely cut off?

The old southern main road dry between Curepe and Chaguanas?

still have water in the back roads

Damn
Guess I have to thank all those town and country approved developments in the old flood plain and mangrove

Hopefully rains hold off to at least let people go home

No truck here
So I'll still be waiting on the water levels to go down

Not sure if to attempt the southern main road

[Daley Special]

What about Sangre Grande and environs? Are the roads still impassible to get in or out.

Someone in that area please advise.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Im gonna make a drive through just now...but as of late last night, I was able to drive through grande as the water began to subside...to get out of Grande would require one to make some drives...

[Blossom]

Asking for a friend.
Does anyone from the grande area have a pump or know someone with a pump to pump out water from someone’s house.

Two quick questions. One very serious.

Is there somewhere we can report missing persons? A friend of a friend said his relative was fine on Friday despite the flood but he has been unable to reach him or find out where he is since. He's no longer at home and neighbors are confused as the waters are 3 to 4ft high and he couldn't have gone far.

They haven't reported it yet as it just happened, I just wanted to know if there's a hotline ODPM setup for cases like this.

Second question, another friend is very concerned about water damage to his hybrid.

How do those types of cars fair in flood situations? I know most regular petrol cars should be ok afterward (not perfect but fixable).

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

I think hybrid batteries are sealed not so? the other issue would be the computer parts that got wet inside the hybrid.

[redmanjp]

uh oh...

The river was high yesterday afternoon despite no rain in Petit Valley. Anyone knows how it is now as my dad and relatives live there?

Regarding the first question, did anyone contact ODPM to check on him and rescue him if needed?
