It was clearly a political dataless move, theres no other explanation. It's impossible to predict torrential rains and flooding and up to 5:40PM not one raindrop falls. You cant make that mistake looking at a radar.

In addition, the head weatherman at the Met clearly said yesterday, what we'd experienced so far for the week would be more rain than we'd experience from milton. As to the winds, 30mph winds are a common occurrence minus hurricanes

I said this morning, the most important piece of information is missing from the article, which direction was the driver travelling and which direction was the motorcyclist travelling?

If they were travelling in the same direction, the motorcyclist would be at fault, the driver could be cited for failing to signal but that's about it. Motorcyclists dont have a right to a third lane.

If they were travelling in different directions, then time of day is a factor. If at night, dd the motorcycle have lights? If it did, then the driver would be at fault since the motorcyclist would have right of way on his side of the street.

Too much info missing from the article

I remember one night travelling on single lane Prince charles and thinking *what a weird light heading my way*. As it came past me the light morphed into a speeding semi truck. The light looked weird because it was high, if I were travelling within my lines but even close to middle line, he would have hit me because he took up so much of the road.

He get a jacket too?

Lol. Where he get that jacket?

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.
