AND... rains have started AGAIN in POS

[Strauss]

Water in rd by Lok Jack Mt Hope. North bound there impassable and Southbound is one lane.

When leaving work.

It was way higher around 3pm. I could not pass before so turned round and went back to office. This is when the water subsided.








After turning at Nestle to head east.... it was CLEAR ROAD. Everyone still trapped in POS.

Pioneer it overcast in Arouca all day long and not more than a light drizzle.
I was surprised when I hear all this going on.
I doh even go into town when it sunning far less when it raining...but unless someone else want to make a pickup and dropoff I have no choice.

Man get a distinction in english


Anyhow the 5o in the heart of town were directly traffic for a good while and there was a helicopter hovering over the Red House.

Any updates on the flooding down city gate side?

u get a distinction in english also?

lol

I wonder what jackassness Colm Imbert will have to say about today's floods due to a substandard, archaic drainage system???

[hydroep]

^^Aye, doh be disrespecting the Pompek. Yuh know for he these things is always an infrequent act of God...

Anyways, there's some good coverage on CNC 3 right now for those who interested.

[Strauss]

cornfused, I don't see you at all.

And yes that area ALWAYS floods as soon as rain falls. And it smells STINK.

In terms of Caura and other places... they building houses all over the damn place. So what was once vegetation, is now roofs with all that run-off going into drains that have stayed the same for so much years.

Look how many houses they are building 'up river'. No planning. Just one big pappyshow.

[TriniGT]

Man just got home from work, left at 2:45PM. Had to drive through piccadilly flood water, spent three hours alone in town.

[SUPAstarr]

i left town 6:15 reach home 7:30 including a stop in aranguez

[Swifted]

all day helicopter hovering over the Red House.

maybe the helicopters blades will force the water away from the red house sparing it disaster!! pfft

...i just LOVE colm Imb(ecile!)ert reason for the landslide that kill de poor lady in maravla yesterday; "A Lightening Bolt hit the top of the mountain and break off part of it... causing the landslide ...no the government is not responsible for that!" hahahaha!!

I Love this Game!!

[silversurfer]

i am appalled to see what has happened today ...
and you know what is even more frightening is the fact that we don't even have a proper disaster readiness program in place to deal with issues like flooding , earth quake,hurricanes .ect
i know you u cannot stop these natural occurrences , but my question is what do we have in place to deal with the after effects..
What was the E.M.A doing all this time ,not forgetting ministry of work with dealing with "proper infrastructure"...
Imagine & god forbid we have a massive earth quake , our General hospitals cannot even handle a normal day of accidents/ injury caused by crime etc...
people have suffer and even in some cases died before they get medical attention..
Now imagine a major natural disaster with 1000s of causalities....
we goose cook for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't want to even start with the problem of recession and inflation etc etc
anyway my question is what is the government/ EMA/ministry .. doing and how are they preparing the T&T to deal with disasters as such ...

Really now, where would he have gone?

You're quick to blame, but there was no specification as to why it was parked there and what he was doing...

Have a lil more compassion. A lot of people went through a lot today and the same is facing many others as this guy has.... but not everybody could just "run out and move their car" as you would like to suggest.

Why don't you call all the people parked in POS and got flooded "Kants"

Oh and while you're at it, Why don't U call all the people stranded and gor their feet soaked and their belongings stolen "kants" too...

[Conrad]

^^^2NR has less compassion than Chuck Norris.

[teems1]
