Don't go hiking if there are thunderstorms in the forecast, like this morning.

Flash flooding on hiking trails and rivers is no joke. Sometimes there is no rain around you and huge swelling water at 30 feet/ second suddenly appears with no warning because it was torrential up in the mountains. Like this https://youtu.be/oWHvi_tW-rg?t=372

Adverse Weather Alert #1 - Yellow Level in effect!

Start date (local time) Mon, Jun 13, 2022 5:00 AM
End date (local time) Tue, Jun 14, 2022 12:00 PM
Issuance time (local time)Sun, Jun 12, 2022 2:45 PM
There is a high (70%) chance that the passage of a tropical wave will result in heavy showers/thunderstorms. These conditions are expected to occur intermittently over the period, starting with southern areas of Trinidad. These thunderstorms can produce intense rainfall of over 25mm. Street and/or flash flooding are possible in areas so prone, causing minor traffic disruptions. Electrical discharges are also likely. The threat of gusty winds will also be present. These wind gusts may be brief, but are capable of breaking tree branches, displacing unsecured roofs and loose outdoor objects, and can even topple over unhealthy trees.
Instructions: Do not wade or drive through flood waters. Secure loose outdoor items and livestock. Monitor weather conditions and official updates. More information: www.metoffice.gov.tt/
