It's true

Ask people in bamboo to show you their deeds.

The buildings all statute barred ( 4 years)

And then most of them cross 30 or 32 years to possess state lands ...so they cannot be moved now....

Question is if this happens again has the precedent been set where taxpayers have to jump out millions every time these ppl property floods?

I highly doubt we will ever know how that money was distributed. Same with the COVID dollar Impbert shared out. Where did that money go? Who knows?

Our history of squatting in various parts of T&T which includes Bamboo, Shanty Town and many other areas is indicative of the many social and economic circumstances we have experienced overtime.
What still remains somewhat unresolved is the 'state' clear responsibility as far as the various communities and probably this is where political interest may cause inconsistency of treatment.
Unfortunately, we continue to be a country where real acceptance of unalienable rights only attract lip service from those in authority but are not embedded in our laws and responsibilities of the state and thus no one is really accountable nor subject to sanctions.
We are now conditioned such that when a piece of road is paved , a drain cleaned or we get water in our taps we feel blessed.
Animal Farm the book still is good reading.

Some places were 12 feet or more.

Remember places closer to the river bank are lower than the river bank. So when it floods the water come level with the river.....then spread out to higher places

Last time the pump wasn't working. Flood was only about 2 to 3 feet and only happened when the volume exceeded the height of the bank. It also didn't persist for many days of rising. Wasn't so bad. Most stuff was salvaged or put up on higher ground.

This time the levee broke/was damaged. On top of the pump not working and the sluice gate closed and the post was abandoned by the Ministry. It took a few mechanics from the village to get the water down by going underwater, fixing the pump and opening the gate for themselves. Flood was 5 to 12 feet. Total loss this time for some. Things that were saved on higher ground were eventually lost because the water kept rising and got so high in certain areas.

Caroni and tributaries have been pretty low over the past few months. Unless there is a man made blockage there hasn't been any kind of rainfall these past few days to affect Caroni.
