People of Paradise,

On the Plus Side, with all this Rain !
The harvest is Plentiful,....

In over a week, less than two weeks,...
[My take]; Two Tropical Waves will go 
barely North of the Leewards as Storms,... !!!!

B U T !!!!!
Scientifically:
Seas will be Rough with Rip Currents in 3-4 days !!

I don't Believe in Graphics or History !
With Climate Change !!!!!!!

A Storm is an 'Act of GOD', so too is 'Survival'.

God Bless

- Heavy afternoon showers

Stephen Abouhamad

Good morning to all. Please be mindful of the day time heating showers that are expected today. Yesterday in San Juan at lunch time the skies suddenly turned dark followed by intense rainfall. How heavy the rain fell made me wondered if the rain would burst through the roof. This intense shower only lasted for about 20 minutes which caused the usual flooding in the capital of Port of Spain. These day time showers are expected again today due to the humid mornings we are having. Take care and be safe.

Best regards,
Stephen Abouhamad

My Dear People of Paradise,

As of NOW!! Tobago, Barbados and Trinidad have entered
The Circle of Depression Genesis !!

[My Take:]
It will only become a TD after exiting the Eastern Caribbean !!!
The Tail will be a bigger problem than the Winds,...!!!
Specially for The Grenadines !!!!

Stay away from WaterCourses as of NOW !

Specially for The Helpless People of Paradise,

I have to Post because we have a 'Depression' over us
and People are staring aimlessly.
My vacancy has not yet been filled.

First: even after heavy Rainfall?
Boil the Water !!!!
You are playing with Death !
(Or use the specified amount of pure chlorine).

Secondly: Don't pick up fruits and just eat them !!!!!
SOAK Them in a Large Container with a Capful of Savlon.
When Ready, Rub off the Savlon Vigorously with Potable Water.

Lastly Meat: DON'T EAT THEM - DON'T TOUCH THEM !!!!!!!
Only if it is absolutely Necessary for You to Dispose of Them 
ON YOUR OWN?
Get Permission to Burn Them before you bury them???
ONLY IF YOU GET PERMISSION from The Authorities.

Otherwise?????
Listen to The Authorities,
Ask for Help.

Even if that and all won't make you feel better?
Admire someone worse off than You?

God Bless

Visitors and People of Paradise,

Together, without Fear !
We have to do a Post-Mortem.
No confessions, no blame, no punishment, NO FEAR !!!!!!
And,
It is REALLY and TRULY a Post-Mortem, . . . .
Lifes Were Lost !

Did We Plan Properly !!!!
Did We Pray Properly !!!!
Did We Prepare Properly !!!!
Did We Procure Properly !!!!

Congratulations on The Entire Relief Efforts,...!

But as those in the Relief Efforts KNOW?
Ad Hoc Money-Making Publicity in Relief Efforts
is only adding 'Shame to Misery'.

Without Money, we can arrest Global Warming by MORE THAN 55%'.

Simple Education and Training;
To those 07 - 70 years old can arrest Climate Change and Disasters,...
Respect and Followthru for Essential Services is BADLY LACKING.
The SURPLUS, from Doing THIS !
Can BE USED For CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS,...

Instead we have a 'Solution' Culture of Abandonment and Elimination.

This can't go on!

God Bless

Dear Gert
The temp is 27 deg's in Palmiste San Fernando, extremely calm ...moved my satellite dish as I await the outer bands of Hurricane Beryl.This reminds me of Bret that hit at midnight and was responsible for massive flooding.Since Beryl is fast moving it is more the winds that are a threat I believe.However the ground is saturated from the passage of the last tropical wave so there may still be the possibilty of landslides
It is unnerving to just sit and wait 
Stay blessed all

Good night everyone,
This is just an update on hurricane Beryl. Hope everyone is taking this seriously and staying safe.
Beryl's winds are approximately 90 miles per hour. 
Weather wise in Trinidad it has been rainy all day with a few thunder storms. We have also had reports of flooding in the capital Port of Spain this morning. With the path of hurricane Beryl passing to the north of Trinidad we are still preparing for a wet and windy few days. God Bless.

Best regards,

- Rain Intensifying Monday till Wednesday -
  • By Ian Martin Borde <readkrox51 at gmail.com>
  • Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2024 03:20:09 -0400
People of Paradise,

This is REAL !
a) We are a few thousands. The population in Small-Island States 
is in the Millions of which the Elderly are Significant.
b) Climate Change is Real. A hurricane before was winds in the 
70's, 80's 90's and less than 2" - 3" inches of rain. 
Now at least once every three years we get winds above 150mph. 
Rainfall of four (04') inches can fall 27 times in a year with something 
as simple as a trough.
c) I can't talk for everybody and all the Central Caribbean.
But, WE ARE NOT EQUIPPED or INVESTED.
If part of a tree falls on a high tension, electricity line. 
We then have a National Blackout. 
At least Three Different Disaster Groups have to correct the Damage.
Then as if to add shame to misery, volunteers help clean up.

If you know me. I talk positively about tourists attractions as well.
However our situation is becoming more desperate !!!!!!!!

GOD! Please Bless

- Proactively, Make a List -
  • By Ian Martin Borde <readkrox51 at gmail.com>
  • Date: Tue, 14 May 2024 13:09:17 -0400
Hello, People of Paradise,

We have two weeks of Preparation without Climate Hazards, ...

Use the Time :
Firstly, Get (a List) started getting an Emergency Supply, 
including a First Aid Kit.
Giving a Donation and early Season Shopping gets some things 'Free'.

Secondly, Identify Emergency Shelters and Volunteer in some way.
What is not strictly emergency supplies, like clothes and food and linen.
Proactively put aside.

Thirdly, Buy a) a safety deposit box, or b) a vault, and c) a document receptacle.

This is to avoid last minute shopping,...
Last minute shopping endangers Lifes.

God Bless
