Look out south trinidad

[SRASC]

Now looking at the animated satellite, that same weather from earlier literally came out of nowhere. Formed right over the area.

[xtech]

You know how long I noticed that trend... All our weather 80% of the time never comes while we watch it rolling in from the east.

Always a surprise sustained down pour out of the blue or a clear night.

wider view is also interesting

trying to understand why there are no hurricanes in the south atlantic. here's a theory according to

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/G6.html

..But this still leaves the question of why hurricanes are so rare in the South Atlantic. Though many people might speculate that the sea surface temperatures are too cold, the primary reasons that the South Atlantic Ocean gets few tropical cyclones are that the tropospheric (near surface to 200mb) vertical wind shear is much too strong and there is typically no inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) over the ocean (Gray 1968).

Wow. Nice graphic!

[MonsterPower]

trinidad really is paradise in more ways than one .

[S_2NR]

I think its because a hurricane will mean the end of Trinidad. We can't even handle some rain without having flooding. Being uneasy every time rain falls heavy is not paradise.

[MonsterPower]

plenty roof loss as well.
alot of pple do not use hurricane straps .
heck cardboard houses does be built more sturdy ... but once one pass their lesson will be learnt the hard way i guess.

[Gem_in_i]

[SUPAstarr]

The strongest wind is blowin upper maraval right now, rain is almost horizontal by me

[SRASC]
