On Storm warning

The difference between the Bahamas and most US cities is the presence of dams and rivers. Also prevalence of wood in construction. While extended rainfall could mean lots of standing water here, it could means tons of fast moving water rushing toward you over there. If Milton lands as a cat-3 as they expect, just like Helene their issue will be that fast moving water. *If* it stays on the projected path, like the Met said, we here would have had worse weather today.

Our information dissemination is terrible.

People are still claiming the weather today is "*the hurricane*". Meanwhile this diagram shows **Milton wont even hit Florida until Thursday**. Again, according to the diagram, all *Tuesday* it's somewhere down by Mexico, nowhere near us.

**The heavy rain we experienced on Tuesday afternoon is NOT Milton**

I could just see it. People boarded up in their houses on Wednesday waiting out "a hurricane" and coming out on Thursday when it still will only be 30mph then walking around *Thursday* talking about how bad the hurricane *was*

We stress unnecessarily.

The Tuesday rain event was a separate system, had nothing to do with a hurricane, and was well worth its own warning about heavy downpours, white out conditions and moderate flooding that never came.

The irony is, the Met Office said this morning, the weather from Milton should not be as bad as what we've experienced today.

Very sad news.

You see that too? The same one monitor they show everytime this topic comes up. Instead of millions spent on motorcycles and cars, this room should be expanded to a team of 50 persons theyd have the weight of 1000 cars.

Let's be pleasantly surprised when they come up with that idea too

"Surprised" is the correct word.

Posted the idea of integrating cctv, private cameras and Shotspotter right on this platform **that the OPM monitors** over 10 years ago. "*Shotspotter goes off and all the video footage switches to the cameras surrounding the coordinates of the shot*", I also suggested this private/public cctv integration for tracking illegal migrant landings along the coast

"*Cooper said that water bowsers and trailers, previously acquired in partnership with local government, were used to respond to the fire.*"

Sure.

How many millions invested again? No fire truck in 2024.

The state of most islands while 32 people bang on desks decade round: No roads. No water. No electricity. No phones. No internet. No drainage. No hurricane shelters. And soon, no high ground in face of private interests bulldozing every hill in sight.

"*JDL has informed courier companies they will lose their business licence if they have outstanding debts with the company.*"

Huh?? What authority do they have to issue any such directive? What is going on at Finance?

The punishment is the removal of freedom of movement that's it. Have someone lock you down at work for 24hours telling you what to do when to eat and when to sleep and you'll realize that it is actually punishment. To be under it for months and years is almost torture. But it's what people are burdened with for crimes and heinous crimes, no freedom of movement.

The inhumane stuff, the slop buckets, overcrowding, lice, rats, insects, rapes... it's simply not acceptable.it has nothing to do with punishment for a crime, it's simply inhumane.

All of that is separate and apart from the seeming injustice of a man who raped an 83 year old women receiving 9years in prison. Three separate issues
