UPDATE: Center of TS Isaac moves into Caribbean Sea

The Center of Hurricane Isaac has moved into the Caribbean Sea.

Prime Minister Skerrit said moments ago during an interview on state-owned DBS that he had received that information from the Dominica Meteorological Service.

“This good news. The center of the storm has gone into the Caribbean Sea, We are waiting for the entire system to move away from Dominica and in the next couple hours an assessment will be made so that we can advyse the nation on the action that we take in that situation. We thank God for his many blessings,” the prime minister stated.

Skerrit said that he hoped to speak to the country at about 5:30 pm today. However, despite the good news, the prime minister urged residents to continue to be vigilant as the outer bands of the system could still cause heavy rainfall on the island.

The  11:00 AM advisory from the National Hurricane Center in Florida places Tropical Storm Isaac at latitude 14.9 degrees N and longitude 61.8 degrees W. The system is moving westward at 20 mph with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.

Barometric pressure is 1006 millibars.

    God is is control, I heard somewhere that grace is getting what you don’t deserve, mercy is not getting what you deserve. God showed you all mercy, now is time to serve him cast away your idols and repent of your sins. Or God not hear you all prayers next time. God bless.

      Yes….Let us “cast away our idols and repent of our sins” Let us be kind and nice to each other or our prayers will be in vain. Prayers without good deeds will be all in vain.
      Cat 5 hurricanes, volcanoes, earthquakes and floods are all in the play book of disasters that we need to be protected from…so we certainly need Jesus protection at all times . So let us take warning from Maria of last year , the volcanoes of Hawaii, the floods of Erica and Florance that is happening right now on the East coast of the USA .

    Don’t forget DA was spared by Irma and Harvey before Maria hit us. God spearing us is not a sign that we have gotten better, as confirmed by your foolish comment @ nature boy. What I am saying though is we just witnessed God’s grace and mercy so let’s give thanks

      Yes, let us give thanks and praises to Jesus for his blessings of safety, protection and defense . Every day we should be giving thanks for His protection from natural and human disasters. All our troubles will go away when we get closer to Jesus, when we begin to be more grateful and appreciative of his love for us and demonstrate our love for Him by loving each other. Remember that Dominica is the Land of the Lord. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

    When DA got hit by super storm Maria some folks was saying God was punishing DA for the ills of it’s government. Now that DA has been speared by storm Isaac I wonder what some folks will say was the reason why.

      Who tells you that Dominica was not punished?Do you know that yesterday was a partial working day?Do you know that today was not a working day? Can you put a dollar value to that $$$$$$$$.? To you punishment seem to be synonymous to destruction,but you are incorrect.!!!!!! You have a warped meaning of the two words.
      I think that we were spared of Isaac because there are still some good Dominicans and strong prayer warriors. The problem with Dominica is just poor management and leadership…I commend profusely pastor Randy Rodney.I love him and I respect him,because he fears nothing.There are a few others,but I am forced to mention his name.

      we were spared because Skerrit the great, rode to the top of Morne Diablotins opened his arms and declared the Hurricane Issac be downgraded to a storm and pass over Dominica without causing any damage!!!

      Here you got it!!!! Reign forever Skerrit the great :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
