I see an Unclosed, Centre of Circulation at approx 30West.

Highly Protected by Moisture between it and SAL.

I wish and pray,

Authorities Concerned will Subsidize Bona Fide Websites

Proven to affect the difference in Climate Change

between,

Life and Death !!!!!

(In particular; Wind speeds, Wave Heights and Precipitation an Hour)?

Thanks,

Everyone, . . . !

I still am not ?objective? enough to Post. But, I'll try.

It will be disjointed. Might just quit anytime and attach official pics.

Firstly and most Importantly;

1) The tragedy is not just Friday gone. It started week-before.

2) Eg. Do you remember the landslide that claimed a Life.

GOD Rest HIs Soul ! Please GOD !

(His wife nearly died trying to save him.) Mercy, Lord! Mercy !

Can't be factual, but as a former first responder

first-hand told me two more were missing.

Factually:

3) Anaisa, GOD REST HER SOUL, wrapped in Mercy !

Body was found offshore the Trinidad Yacht Club (TYC).

The TYC is at the bottom of my street.

Anaisa (RiP.) both lived and was hiking (both places different)

a little more than a mile from where I lived before.

It will take a whole interactive website for you to know my journey.

(By the way),

This time, I did not cry.

I am busy.

(Which Dominica alluded to.)

Okay! so what I got to say is Minor, ... , a kind of emergency procedure relief.

That is, "It is human to salvage". Pick up the pieces.

There are a lot of debris, fallen food, and

God Rest Their Souls, 'Corpses' .

It will take the professionals to do that !!!

Among these professionals, spiritual elders, ... !

For us, the retired, the indirectly involved and assistants,

as the islands most affected by Irma and Maria can teach us.

It will be,

"To burn them!" They are toxic, for a lot of reasons.

Let the politicians and professionals control the aftermath.

At first, this post will seem bitter.

But, on reflection it will provide professional insight and relief !

As we too focus on the dead and living Souls,

"May their Souls find Eternal Rest and Peace in a Greater Paradise, ... , Amen!"

People of Paradise,

Excuse Me !

For, not posting about Hazardous Weather between the passages

of 'Fred' & PTC#7. To be Honest, that was Deliberate.

Moving On:

If anyone here asked me the 'one most singular thing' to Focus On,

in terms of Pro-active Emergency Procedures !!!!

It will be, "NHC estimated landfall time is 02:00 am. Sunday''.

With it's attendant Waves, Winds and Precipitation Saturday Night, ... !!

Maximum Winds are 25mph. in the NNE Sector, Not 30 mph. Nowhere.

Sadly however, (Worst-Case Scenario),

The Centre of Circulation could become an 'Eye' tonight.

Pro-actively Prepare

Hi, People of Paradise!

Here is how a cash-starved but rational planner plans when Normalcy Flows, ...

(There are things more important. Which I wrote about before.)

" I Respect all Religious Practises ", . . .

- Water

- Medicines

- Water

- Waterproofing Documents and Identifications (Remember old filing-cabinets?)

- Yeast - Is better than baking powder (Respecting emergencies and religion)

- Chlorine - to go with WATER

- Generator - Some Islands need a Licence/Candles and Kerosene (last resort)

- Water and some Rubbing 'Spirits'

By Ian Martin Borde <readkrox51 at gmail.com>
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2021 11:59:41 -0400

Hi, People of Paradise !

You can imagine, How busy I am?

The 1st. TW approaching with a Centre of Circulation

(and nothing else to Identify it!) Is developing

a feeder-band (tail). Due to less SAL which

it is doing on its own. At a quasi-stationery 40W.

That's my take. But if you read between the lines,

That is ITCZ exiting, ... !

Not today, but most likely tomorrow, the

Emerging tail will affect southerly islands,

with localised heavy but short rain.

As I said that's my take during preparations time.

God Bless

Good Night, Good Day, People of Paradise,

There are two (02) African/Atlantic Tropical Waves.

With both a Centre of Circulaion, moving into less and less SAL.

The one at 40W. is southerly and dead centre.

The one at 25W. is too early to call but more northerly.

Qu. Can we prepare without panic, surprise and drama?

Ans. The answer is, "Yes!".

Prepare, because this is just the beginning, . . . !

My Apologies Haiti !

But,

I myself am daunted about 'reporting'.

As what was free, clinical, life-saving data

is now a rare and costly occurrence.

Secondly the youths are not taking up the baton.

The truth is twisted to make money.

Weatherwise:

The graphic speaks for itself with a visible centre of circulation.

Dominica and Barbados,

all People of Paradise,

A Tropical Wave is at 55W approaching in 36 hours.

Winds are 15 - 20 mph.

Waves are going to be greater than three (03') feet.

Precipitation is hard to predict at this time but

more than one inch in Barbados.

The Windshear is to the West of the Eastern Caribbean.

It's difficult to get a current SAL Map.

There was a 7.0 earthquake south of Panama with Moderate Damage!!

Taking action on just One view on a Low Pressure System,

is as silly, as it sounds.

Or,

Leaving everything upon the Gov't and Authorities.

Otherwise:

Weatherwise;

There are two Tropical Waves (TWs) approaching at just after

30W and 40W respectively, ... !! Battling SAL and losing !

They are also two low in Latitude to be Perilous.

The Bad News:

Any TW in Climate Change has 'Erika' Potential.

I trust that everything is ok with Barbados and St Vincent. Hope that no damage has been done through the passing of hurricane Elsa.

"Would someone please let the pressure out of the 'Steamer'?"

Hello, July 2021

Hello, People of Paradise!

Before I wrote this Post. I was Reading.

I was Reading and Researching,

capturing images and reading some more, ...

(Started off with Dr. Jeff Masters, by the way!)

Before I was 'Reading', I was 'thinking and praying'.

Enhanced by the river in front of me in the gallery.

Giving it an aspect of 'Unitarian Meditation'?

Anyway, I was more than thinking. I was saying to myself.

"If just south of Barbados is The 1st. Impact Point.

Then why is there no talk of Grenada and Tobago

getting 20mph (+) plus winds?"

Which science leads me to say. That winds will play

an equal part to water in this one.

Even though it's 50 West and Designated

My take is: LET'S WAIT on The HURRICANE HUNTERS, ... ?

That way,

"We'll be waiting for an Update!!! Not a downscale".

Good Day, Good Everything,

People of Paradise

The 1st. (of Significance) Tropical Wave coming from Africa

is medium-large BUT embedded in the ITCZ

with Nascent Circulation.

My Take:

Good News first,I don't see it exiting the ITCZ before 50 West.

Bad News! Because of its size,

When it reaches it will be more than 50% Hazardous.

Trinidad had I believe 3 instances of minor floods already.

BIG Public Shoutout to Isabel. I don't know 'bout you?

There are ssooo many topics to talk about, . . . .

There's Earthquakes, Volcanos, Evacuations, Emigrations.

There's Smoke, Dust, Ash, Lava, Old Craters and New Vents,

There's Poisonous Gases, Liquids and Materials. Water Scarcity.

There's Communications, Security, Solidarity, Relief and Rescue.

To stop! (Distressing, what is Stressful!!!!!)

There's more than one inch of rain, floods, rough seas, rip tides

Thank GOD, nobody reported HIGH WIND, . . . ?

PS. Volcanic Ash is the Best-Known Fertilizer, ....

May God show us the Good in this.
