Midnight..seriously!! no pun intended eh hook but between you, me and Trinituner that estimation is sounding kind off. By midnight tonight that looking like the storm will be even further north of us.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Thanks for the updates Hook!

[redmanjp]

so why tv6 still saying we not under warning? hook allyuh sticking relaying the latest & obviously critical development!!

redmanjp, check previous page...

anyone know for sure if the works on the highway still on? norstar2k?

[eekipoo]

i just might do that..Bez yuh invited.. I'm not saying that i don't believe the release i just monitoring the images available and saying what i seeing based and past movement of the storm/wave. Waiting for the official release though

[SUPAstarr]

Maraval Traffic is not terrible, jus slow movin, i expect it to get worse. Woodbrook an environs is a mess, almost all gas stations are a mess. Lots of jackass drivin so b careful peeps. Panic buying in session. 3 gas stations in south sold out. Reports of ppl bein robbed on the bus route

[pete]

I'd definitely say if trying to get home try to avoid passing any gas stations. People panic buying and there's huge buildups around the gas stations.

offical warning seems to be out:

so with your logic and perception

even if it goes north whatever rain we get won't be that bad

[Bezman]

i meant to the media as in tv6 & C- they had their 4pm update and was still saying we NOT under warning

i also think their should be a headline on the homepage of the met office if a warning is in place- not just in the warnings section

Godzilla just came ashore around Sea Lots and is heading towards South Quay.

[zitanos]

err.. i rem reading somewhere.. i think the ODPM had a "note" on their fanpage this morning (seems to be removed)... that this whole thing was a rumor and don't panic..

I rell like how it went from Rumor to "Tropical Storm Warning" in 24hrs

[streetbeastINC.]

That's because alyuh doh know how to make a distinction between different weather systems.

This morning and last night it would have been a rumor that we were under tropical storm watch, because the system hadn't developed into a storm.

Now, several hours later, it has.

That so difficult to understand? Or yuh want tuh continue making a conspiracy theory out of it?

[pete]

Seems kinda reactive to me..

COulda issued a statement that the system may have the potential to become a tropical storm and care should be taken to secure homes and ensure you have the necessary items in case it should develop into the storm.

How do you know the statement didn't say that, though?

And either way, hasn't the ODPM been singing that song ad nauseum for weeks now? We're a tropical island and it's hurricane season...we've known since we were children what's required of us.

So who's being reactive?
