The official tropical weather thread 2018

[rspann]

I now seeing on cnc3 Susan Hong, chairman of the Diego Martin corp that she was out there and she's not worried, but on the split screen I seeing raging waters in Maraval and Diego. Is some kind of damage control going on? Nobody could blame anybody for what's happening now. It's just too much water. But why minimise the reports of damage? Deyalsingh do the same thing this morning.

In all this, the most significant positive is how peoples of Trini are raising their hands and rendering real help.
With what is being witnessed my country is still a place where we can still have hope that things could be better.
Maybe our politicians should take note and facilitate a national momentum of goodwill in preference to governance by divisiveness.

Thank you.

I agree is multiple times for the day that strangers who we don't know people with their cars and 4x4 we never seen just pulling up and opening their doors and bringing out food for us, drinks and all sorts of things. Absolutely amazing how generous so many people out here are with all what is happening in this country with everybody losing their jobs etc

The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service wishes to advise that as of 10:15am on Sunday 21st October, 2018, the south bound lane of the Uriah Butler Highway (UBH), south of the Grand Bazaar Interchange remains impassable.

The north bound lane of the UBH is being used as a dual carriageway, you will be directed by uniformed police officers.

Motorists are advised to proceed with extreme caution. The flood waters have not as yet completely subsided. Use the highway only if necessary.

Parts of St. Helena, Kelly Village, Warner Village and Madras still remain under water and are completely impassable at this time.

More updates will sent in due course

[wickedtuna]

Ppl should stay off the hi way unless totally necessary. ...hope they emphasize this in there 4:30 govt update .....standstill traffic Munroe Rd as far as u can see

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Hmm I have work tomorrow, I have to pass through Kelly and Caroni to get there, wonder if it would even be possible?

Now might be a good time to declare a national disaster and close schools and workplaces except important services. The situation on the highway might not be favourable to traffic plus the possibility of more rain might cause recurring flooding and isolate north from South again , marooning workers on both sides.

should have kept the blasted ting closed, look how much traffic build up on both sides. leave it for emergency services.

if u really need to go to work or check a gyul, use the ptsc service.

Looters strike in Greenvale

Sun Oct 21 2018

Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Stu­art Young is warn­ing loot­ers that they will face the full brunt of the law if caught steal­ing items from flood vic­tims.

His com­ments came dur­ing a tour of flood-raved Green­vale, La Hor­quet­ta, hours ago, fol­low­ing com­plaints by scores of res­i­dents hit hard by the flood­ing that loot­ers had cart­ed away their be­long­ings last night while they were re­lo­cat­ed to shel­ters

Young said he has since asked Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Gary Grif­fith and the De­fence Force to in­crease their man­pow­er in the flood-rav­aged com­mu­ni­ty.

He said be­cause of the flood­ing and size of the com­mu­ni­ty, peo­ple were able to breach the perime­ter and loot aban­doned homes.

This is some­thing Young said the State will not tol­er­ate.

Young toured the area for two hours as res­i­dents re­turned to their homes to un­der­take mop-up op­er­a­tions, on­ly to dis­cov­er the das­tard­ly acts that had been car­ried out overnight.

But he ap­pealed to them to have hope and to be strong.

I hope they didn't help evacuate the residents so they could loot the vacant homes.
