10.5"/hour based on a a 5mins rainfall interval. A rate associated normally with tropical cyclones.

Yet Caroni reservoir about 35.8% full in the middle of the rainy season. Hollis 34.36% full.

Trinidad receives lots of water, we have poor water management.

Nah. Couple factors that nobody expected:
Weather in Africa shifted more North than anyone thought would. That changed the entire pattern for what comes this way.
We were to be in La Nina all now, but we're still in transition (neutral) between El Nino and La Nina.
For all intents and purposes, it was supposed to be a screwed up year, but the season isn't over. I for one am glad it hasn't become what it was supposed to be.
Saw a us weatherman say the tropical shift and is what also contributed to the extreme flooding in Eastern Europe.MISHI wrote:PariaMan wrote:Those hurricane forecasters look really dumb this year with all their dire predictions of plenty of strong storms coming to naught.

In Florida's Big Bend area south of Tallahassee, from Carrabelle to the Suwannee River, forecasters expected the water to reach 15-20 feet above ground if the storm surge's peak occurred at the same time as high tide. Other areas could see anywhere from 3-15 feet of water, the hurricane center warned. Fifteen to 20 feet of water would be enough to cover a two-story house, Parkinson pointed out.
"The water impacts are probably going to be the most impactful part of the storm, the most deadly part of the storm," Jamie Rhome, a deputy director at the hurricane center, told CBS News.

As it stands, 2 more months of Hurricane Season to go, and historically we experience signficant rain during those two months, so we not out as yet.
