"*Mr Simmons says that the area where this system developed there was a lot of warm water and very little wind shear, he says now it is moving into "a hostile environment" and that is why it will slow down and begin to weaken. He says he does not expect it to become stronger."*
At last reporting hurricane force winds only extend **5**miles from the center. The island it will come closest to (at hurricane strength) is Inagua which is 55x19miles. If it's not a direct hit and stays miles off Inagua, the winds experienced there will be even lower, it's not clear how close it will pass by Inagua. These are the details needed.

**They should listen to Mr Simmons this time.**
Its forecasted for 2-4" of rain. It's small, "tiny" is the word used by NOAA, it will weaken quickly with only Inagua experiencing hurricane force winds maybe 80mph, then it will drop to a tropical storm by Sunday and shoot out to the east by Wednesday.
The weather Nassau is experiencing now is again **not** from the closest hurricane in our vicinity.
At the top of the list should have been commission of inquiry on whether that Is that the head of CDU on those extortion tapes and who else is involved?

I think it says something about what a person does without having to be told that what you're doing is seriously inconsiderate. Especially when their eyes are full of how much money they will make. so bright lights all night, jackhammers, 24/7 noise, ***I** making money*. #EbenezerScroogeTerritory

BEC is a decades long victim of contract hoarding. And nothing has changed.
Contracts are hoarded by political interests in a grab for profit with no thought to whether or not value is given for service or performance improvement will result.
Brave Davis clearly stated that the problems would be **in the past** as of **July 2024**. The entire country heard his declaration. This timeline coincided with the arrival of two new generators purchased by FOCOL and the launch of lkne work by Pike. As Brave Davis is not an energy expert, his statement could have only been the result of promises he was given and dreams he was sold by FOCOL and Pike. This means the plan was switch the lines bring in two generators and its smooth sailing.
It didnt work
Now they're trying to shift the narrative to, "*nothing has started yet*". That slight of hand wont work either. Not after the minister's big production over "*Pike trucks on the ground*"
It would have been great if the messaging before we looked out the window today had been 15-20mph winds, 2-4ft above sea level, light rain and a weakened storm. Because it was predictable.
Instead they couldnt say dangerous, strong, cat5, never seen before, protect yourselves enough.
It is expensive to mobilize for a storm. The people and resources used in the mobilization cost money and time and could be put to other pressing tasks if accurate assessments are made. That is the point of a meeting, to assess. Not to come out and say it's better to prepare for a cat5 and 9" of rain even if we only get 15mph winds and 0.5" of rain and who knows what the weather will do
The best way to prepare for hurricane season is better and more targeted weather equipment. Not politics and drama to appear to be commanding and in charge. I will say the Met got this right, it was the politicians who milked the weather for election points. With one reporting that he was busy giving out hurricane supplies *today*???? For what?
The weather people were 100% correct. Something happened it that meeting. I was shocked when I heard the announcement that Nassau schools were closing, because the Met had indicated we'd get limited if any impact. So whatever decision the govt made, it wasnt based on the actual weather forecast. Likely some rowdy PLP supporters call the PM and ask him why their child have to go to school
