For real that maybe the oldest storm.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

I've been keeping count on Nadine - 21 days so far

The oldest on record is Hurricane San Ciriaco which lasted 27.75 days in 1877. The longest lasting in recent times is Hurricane Ginger which lasted 27 days in 1971.

Nadine is 5th on the list of longest lasting storms in the Atlantic basin.

There are storms in the Pacific that lasted 31 days

[firstchoicett]

Yea I seeing on that side of the world alway have activity going on.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Though Trinidad and Tobago may experience some showery activity at times, this would be in no way related to, or be because of Tropical Storm Oscar.

Date: Friday 05th of October 2012
ISSUED AT:11:34AM

MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS AND OCCASIONAL
THUNDERSHOWERS TO AFFECT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
TODAY
Trinidad and to a lesser extent Tobago should
expect moderate to heavy showers and occasional
thundershowers for at least the next 2 – 4
hours. Some portions of southern and
north-western Trinidad are already being
affected.

The adverse weather conditions are as a result of
low level convergence ably supported by favorable
upper level conditions.
Winds may gust in excess of 50 km/hr in heavy
showers and thundershowers. Rainfall
accumulations of between 30 – 40 millimeters,
or greater in some locations, can be expected
from this rainfall event.

Depending on rainfall intensities, rivers of
moderate carrying capacities may become
overwhelmed. Landslips/landslides may occur.
Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious
as they conduct their daily activities given
forecast weather conditions. Be alert to any
electrical discharges from thundercloud activity.
Adopt measures which would preserve life and
property.


WE STRONGLY UNDERSCORE THAT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO IS
NOT UNDER ANY TROPICAL STORM THREAT, WATCH OR
WARNING AT THIS TIME.

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service is
closely monitoring weather conditions and will
issue another bulletin if the situation
warrants.
