Live News Conference:

[PariaMan]

Just a reminder from a few weeks ago. It was not a hurricane or a tropical storm but it certainly gives you an idea of how we definitely are not ready.

Woe to those who do not understand history and fail to prepare for what is possible.

It has been said before eh, but if something like that ever hits T&T it'll wipe us off the map...

Very very unlikely we are at the very edge of the hurricane belt

there is always a chance of perfect conditions to send one our way
especially with climate change and warm oceans

Probability is so low not worth worrying about ,lots of others things are more likely that we should pay attention too

That was my point we have to worry about flood not no hurricane

[K74T]

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

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Ok nice the truck passed and they distributed the palau we got 10 boxes of palau and 3 case of bottled water.

Amazing that the private citizens are the ones that saved us

[Dizzy28]

Noe come back in from Centeno. Water was receding but slowly . However all we had was one powerless zodiac. There are lots of ppl out there who haven't received any help as they require motorized boats to reach them. Some old persons and sone with babies. Hopefully defence force cpuld reach them.

[rebound]

Highway closed by police northbound by Heartland plaza

[rebound]

Still tryin ah ting to reach d airport

[matix]

Lemme know if you get through. I wanna head up shortly

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Defense force came up by us but only brought small boats and they mainly just cruised around in the mainroad, honestly Judy Kanhai like she rescued more people. She actually went into the roads where people were trapped badly and were hopeless. Again being a UNC area we didn't get anything remotely close to what La Horquetta got, the government brought 2 case of water for 500 people here, what an insult. People here survived thanks to the efforts of other community members, they were the ones who brought food and water etc

Government didn't even give a damn

Macoya junction by a1 have pelau and soup cooking all afternoon

Ok nice the truck passed and they distributed the palau we got 10 boxes of palau and 3 case of bottled water.

Now come out from greenvale to try and check up on some friends places.. their house still inaccessible.

If all yuh hear these horror stories of ppl trapped there last night in 8ft deep water trying to rescue the children. Ppl need some serious counseling after this.

Also reports of looting taking place, some houses were just left completely open after residents evacuated.

Heard at least one confirmed death and rumours of approx 15 dead and a floating baby found which is totally believable considering the destruction that place was in, still unconfirmed..

[rebound]

Lemme know if you get through. I wanna head up shortly

Np...still waiting on the shoulder

[hydroep]

Dr. Rowley said that there are no confirmed instances of looting or deaths, so people/ "mischief makers" should stop spreading fake news...

[VexXx Dogg]

Waaays I wonder how long the water will take to go down?
