The official tropical weather thread 2018

[zorced]

Well we finally know the cause guys. Susan Hong, Chairwoman DMRC, blamed people littering for the unprecedented floods of recent times because she saw bottles and a stove in the flood.

[kstt]

Has ANY CARICOM countries rushed and pledged assistance to us as we fo to them??????????

[matix]

Not that I know of.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

At least you all saw no help from govt in grande...at the moment business owners are providing aid for those in distress...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Now come back from Madras Road, St Helena side after a drop off of stuff with Hillview Old Boys.

Parts of Madras still unreachable by anything except trucks. Them people still yet to see Govnt help.

Nicely done HOBA!

a dinghy with food and supplies was sent from Darul Uloom in Campo to Madras this morning. The current was stronger than the boat engine and the water was too high to stand in in some sections. It's still pretty bad in Madras.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Just saw a video of a waterspout very close to a rig today.

[Monkey Man]

Bruhh IDGAF about you shittheads who saying i cant make comment denouncing the govt

But this mc stuart little can talk real tata.

That lil ferg

[tardissubie]

All you fools quarrelling about PNM UNC kamla Stuart Rowley are a waste of blasted time and no better than them or the gullible sheep that bow to them.

Shut up and add something productive to the thread.

Does anyone know where in South donations can be made so that it can reach those affected considering the roads are congested and partially impassable.

[No_Name]

What allyuh really think going on here?

Is the work of volunteers and corporate T&T that easing up the Government so they can deploy their limited/mismanaged resources elsewhere.

All the talk Stuart talking, is ride they riding on the back of citizens and NGOs to make themselves look good. If people didn't come out to help Rowlee and dem would've been f#cked. Dais why they keep heaping praise on people for "being their brothers keeper" — they're hoping and praying it continues.

When the non-official effort starts to die down is then yuh go see how "in control of the situation" the Government really is ...

...which clearly demonstrates that there's strength in numbers & we do have hearts, dispite differences forced upon us by these very politicians...
A lesson in the learning for us all, they are in fact the minority, their rank/portfolio is nothing in comparison to if/when we come together and put our feet down as a nation, as one people against the selfish decisions they make...

As for CARICOM Countries givin back, when dey ketch a good jack is to ride it and besides who knws, dey might'nt be inna position to give if dey never receive, fuss PNM does tief...!!!

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

that flood water is contaminated by mud, urine and excrement. people walking and playing in it normel, but some will get sick from it.

once the water goes down a little, you will see an increase in pests, mosquitoes, rats. people will get sick from that too.

and the vulnerable will die.

so there will be a death toll, rest assured.

Humans have been evolving for 4 million years, this is how far back our ancestry can be traced and even more if you count our rat like mammal ancestor.

Those flood water can't do anything unless you have a cut in your feet for infection to start or if you drink it. This is why we walk in that flood water all the time and nothing happens to us. We didn't become homo sapiens out of the blue, if flood water was so deadly we would not be here today, we are here because of natural selection. Since crocodiles and alligators are over 200 million years old they can drink it or get cut and never have an issue since they are immune to all common diseases.

[rspann]

S Hong. Seems like a suitable name.

Supplies for affected flood areas can be dropped off at Presentation College, San Fernando. Security will direct you to the drop off point.

[K74T]

What Ansa McAl, Massy, etc doing for the flood?

I would not be surprised if they thief from this too! Don't forget when you cleaning up from the flood, don't throw away the damaged furniture, appliances etc. until an assessment is made..... I hope they conduct the assessments fast and do not lose the reports esp. with divali around the corner.

Most of this money gona be stolen before it reaches the bottom. The little that gets down most likely gona be given to people handpicked in popular areas

[sMASH]

Mainstream media and social media has made that abundantly clear!!!

Nobody listening to them with a straight face.

Just like how Marla doukeran had to twist up she face listening to the gobar goebbels young was talking on judy show

[aaron17]

Ent on tv6 news, a soldier who did not want to show his face said one was dead?

Speaking of Maxie...he is the MP for Greenvale. Wonder if he ever make it out to see his constituents??

[sMASH]

a couple weeks ago police were charging ppl with lifted pickups, big mud tyres, lights and winches and these are the very people who have been helping with most of the rescues

Screenshot 2018-10-20 at 5.54.11 PM.jpg

This needs to be spoken about on a serous level.
Cause to me, Lo have restrictions on vehicles for the sake of having restrictions.

I see them making people remove writing on vehicles that not doing anything... It not stealing. It not theifing, it not mimicking the emergency services it not hiding criminal.
It only offending some arbitrary regulation.

The off road vehicles are very suited for emergency situations because of our terrain and climate. They can be very pertinent.

He popped up in my memory to make a tory on fb, but then seigonie went live again... And I forgot.

They want to keep a dependency syndrome

Politricks prob drool at a chance for those "disaster" photo ops



However I hope people start realising now that Trinis can depend on their fellow Trinis regardless of skin, hair or percentage.

All those people went out of their way to help their fellow man expecting nothing in return. Politricks try to keep themselves relevant by trying to create artificial barriers between people.

Well knowing the reputation of these politicians we have, I don't blame you, it even happened big time with the fund for Katrina. The dumb thing though is, the only real benefit of taking time with the fund is for exercising enough due diligence to avoid that same thing.

Honestly I so focused on the affected that it didn't initially cross my mind. I still think we have the required expertise at hand to expedite it properly.
