Where is Bret now? Haven't been online for the day

Heading towards Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao

[Morpheus]

Hmmm ok thanks.

[matr1x]

It's losing structure

[Strugglerzinc]

More rain right now than the whole of Bret in my area.

[toyolink]

Mc Bean experiencing showers and even if flooding isn't an issue in this area, rain like this certainly not helping things for others.
Really quite surprised at general weather outlook at this time.

[janfar]

Still no power in Mayaro area. Word is that there is extensive damage to the main line from powergen to Rio Claro Mayaro due to trees falling.

Doubt I could survive another night without AC.

[janfar]

T&TEC saying they will be able to restore power to the entire island within 16-24 hrs as of 1pm today. Looks like hotel for it.

[redmanjp]

So Bret came along for a second visit (1st was 93) in his pickup but saw the huge fines and demerit points and decided to stay at 65kph oui

This was a tropical storm. Some just barely above a gusty afternoon in Mayaro. The whole country shut down for a day, power out in many parts of the country for almost 24hrs now. Flooding everywhere, place in a shambles.

Imagine this was an actual Hurricane... Cat one or 2. What would have happened. It's a serious fend for yourself situation in this country with these inept reactive governments.

[janfar]

You have room but do you have womb... 2wink

From the highway, at about 6:30pm Caroni river level looked very high. Could be somewhere further inland.

Well said Trinidad and Tobago is not prepared whatsoever for a natural disaster of any magnitude.
This was just a tropical storm and watch at the destruction, what would really happen to us if a hurricane category (1,2,3,4) really hits?
Even an earthquake of significant measure?

Pass and future governments will only play politics with people lives, and not see the bigger picture with issues and real situations that significantly impact the lives of law abiding citizens.

As for this government , you have proven time and time again that you are no way capable or competent with running this twin island republic.
No fan of Kamla and her crew, BUT she is still out there giving comfort to the affected and I applaud her.
Even though is just politics she and rest of them playing.

This was like "Bret2: Revenge". This system strengthen to a tropical storm just long enough to jam Trinidad overnight, then degenerate by 5pm! What Bret have against Trini?

[shogun]

Landline cordless phone here still saying "line in use" yes

Dial tone sounds like a bad turntable DJ with epilepsy. lol

[janfar]

Power finally restored to most of Mayaro.

[tr1ad]

Speaking of Crix you can't get it to buy anywhere, sold out in every grocery and mini mart you could think off.

Also my area gets flood every year, its a normal thing for people who live in these areas and they have adapted.

let me start to quote yes... editing is a bad thing

[tr1ad]

This storm had better happen, because I am sick of always hearing about a storm coming and it never happens. So for once I hope these people are right, its not like its going to be bad or anything we getting a lil breeze there is nothing to worry about.

na it wasn't bad at all..adaptation

[rollingstock]

I was hoping the storm wash way he c.unt!

[blitz83]

[Morpheus]

LoL. I hope he get some in truth. Talking a heap of nonsense...
