[Richard Marshall]

Shouldn't citizens be to blame also? Everyone only depending on the Gov't.

[cinco]

well if you lived in the US before enlighten me cinco.
how is Trinidad better than the US in this regard?
Also, he is the one who started this comparison sheit.

Ask the people in the us that live in flood prone areas

They go through the same flooding every year. It happens in floodplains you kno and our flooding subsides pretty quickly as it does over there.

[shotta 20]

Cinco, leave he nah. He just toting how he get rejected for a US visa.

Dem fellas don't read papers? Them talk like they never saw floods in 'developed' countries covering entire houses. Rain is a natural occurrence... Just like tornadoes flattening entire communities year after year. Not covering for the present gov't, but a lot of work is underway with regards to rivers, drains and bridges.

The Ministry of Transport has given permission for drivers to use the Priority Bus Route from Morvant Junction to Arima until 8 pm today. This is because of flooding on the Churchill Roosevelt Highway, the police Public Affairs Unit said in a release.

[K74T]

Reports are that the landslide has been cleared.

[ruffneck_12]

it rain by allyuh today? it rain by me today

[Hook]

It's not that T&T can't "handle all this rain". We're not even getting what July usually brings.
Up to Thursday we'd accumulated about a quarter of the 30yr average for rainfall, so even if today's 24hr rainfall pushes us over the 50% mark, it still means that we're doing it wrong - gov't and citizens alike.

The late professor Ken Julien remarked in the 70's that we will pay for our dry season sins with floods and landslides in the rainy season, and throughout the 80's we were bombarded with anti-litter campaigns, literature on slash n' burn agriculture, drains in POS were dredged... a lot was done, people gave a damn.
We dropped the ball on this one. Everybody did. Prof was right.

I'm certain there are reforestation campaigns, but why aren't they visible? There's a lot more to helping the environment than beach clean-ups and "eat the lionfish instead" promotion.
I hope in Bhoe's million dollar plan for Maracas, they include a proper assessment of the hillsides along the roadway and terraces and/or retaining walls are employed. Doesn't make sense pumping a shitload of money into upgrading a beach facility if nobody can get to it.

We have a job to do and our administration has a job to do. What we gonna do?

[Morpheus]

Robin Mara........I mean Hook....

You a weatherman? This in your field or something? Or this just interests you and hence you did research and gained knowledge?

Serious questions eh. Cause the avg man ain't know half the stuff you do.

I had us visa since I was 5. Try again.
Yes yes, let's compare natural disasters in other countries to a day of rain here.
Any other sheit u wanna throw at me?

Sense, but while reforestation occurring in one area, quarrying negating the efforts in another so we spinning top in mud. We will never learn.

Edited for uncle hook

[Hook]

I should really edit that post to say Julian Kenny so y'all wouldn't keep quoting it with the wrong name.
