So, yesterday we had another day of strange weather as a tornado landed near Mucarapo Road and close to Eric Mackie, CNC3’s Weather Man. I did not see any images from Mackie so I assumed he did not have his camera or cell phone with him. It seemed Port of Spain was flooded again and I don’t blame the government for the amount of plastic bottles and Kia Pride motor cars that floated down the Dry River to form a dam near a bridge any beaver would be proud of. I blame the owners.
I was fortunate to be home and with my camera at around 2:30 pm when the rain started to come in from South to North. I put together an animated GIF showing one and a half minutes of the rain event. No tornados this time.

Any floods?

Port of Spain was bad as usual on the 14th but St. Augustine, on the 12th or 13th, was flooded again. It seems a yearly event. Thankfully I live on a hill so only have to worry about landslides and not floods

Passed through Mucurapo minutes after. It was surreal seeing someone’s roof hanging from the power lines. Took a couple shots with my phone cam, too. Poor quality, but hey…
Nice rain shots you got there.

I saw that image on TV and it looked strange. A sheet of galvanize wrapped around a power line was hard to imagine. Thanks and I was actually expecting to see something like a tornado form since the weather was strange that day.
