I still not taking any chances. I got my water, tin/can stuff, rice, crix and charged up all my flash lights. In the morning I going to buy about 2 bags of ice and place in a cooler just in case electricity makes an exit. Opening and closing the fridge door is not the wisest thing during a black out especially an extended one.

God iza trini starter pack: Hurricane status + Daniel Bryan chant.

The way I see it now, no matter how that storm swerves in any direction, we're gonna collect piece of it. Prepare yourselves accordingly.

I am almost entirely certain we aren't going to be hit by any serious hurricane or anything remotely close to it.

Trinidad sits outside the hurricane belt we have nothing to worry about except flooding which can be an issue.

redmanjp · Postby **redmanjp** » July 24th, 2020, 11:50 pm

not a hurricane but we will likely get some strong winds of minimum tropical storm force (40 mph Bret) and PLENTY rain! Trinidad should be under TS warning based on this graphic

T&T Weather Centre wrote:Why No Tropical Storm Warning for Trinidad?

There is the question, given the significant changes in track, why is Trinidad not under a tropical storm warning? Tropical Storm Gonzalo is barely hanging onto a its tropical storm classification. Though the chances for experiencing tropical-storm-force winds have increased, overall weakening of this system is anticipated and it may even reach tropical depression status before landfall. If that occurs, all Tropical Storm Warnings will be dropped, as tropical-storm-force winds impacting land are the criteria for one of these warnings to be issues.

As we continue to reiterate, the main hazard for Trinidad continues to be, as it always has been: heavy, flooding rainfall. The change in track did not significantly change the rainfall impact.

We are in for a rough Saturday

RAINFALL: Gonzalo is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 3 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 5 inches in Barbados, the Windward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago through Sunday night. Gonzalo is also expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 2 inches in northeastern Venezuela through Monday.

^^ Tropical Storm Hanna

bluefete · Postby **bluefete** » July 25th, 2020, 5:45 am

We are definitely going to get something today from Gonzalo.

Track has shifted southward which puts us directly in line for some kind of hit.

Clouds outside look ominous already.

I wonder if the MET Office wake up as yet.

snypaz · Postby **snypaz** » July 25th, 2020, 6:09 am

Obviously not. Cause there hasn't been word of anything as of now.

They want to be absolutely sure. Remember the "breeze" that passed through a couple weeks ago and they never said a word.

fokhan_96 · Postby **fokhan_96** » July 25th, 2020, 6:22 am

It's weakening though... nothing more than rain and flood

snypaz · Postby **snypaz** » July 25th, 2020, 6:22 am

Moved my car to higher ground just in case. Cause I want to go back to sleep and I'm not taking chances
