    For God’sake: tropical depression,wave or what ever during the hurricane season does affect all political supporters. Lets lookat the bigger picture for none of us can control the weather, but we can control what we say or how we say. Let God have his way. Ask for God’s protection insted, in particular on our country. God Bless Dominica.

    I hope the Trough they are predicting is not the one which passed this morning.
    Our weather forecasters have been doing a lousy job lately.

    Lets take a look at what Antigua Met Office said at 2:19pm: http://www.antiguamet.com/

        You should know that this name above “Facts” is not me. Some people love to use a similar name to make it appear like someone else. I do not know why they do not use a totally different name. Some have been doing that. It is stupidity to do so. I also view it as wickedness, to use a name or similar one to deceive the readers into believing that it is someone else. It is trickery and unfair.
        I have no interest to be a make belief and imitate anyone, be it in a similar name. I consider myself unique. :) I am not such a follower nor copycat. When making comments, I stand up for me and by me and me alone, not copying anyone’s name or close to it. There are too many names to choose from than to use a name or similar one that someone else uses.
        DNO knows which computer IP and email address all comments are sent from.

    any damages encountered through these weather systems is not a issue
    as Dominica’s regime has millions of dollars in passport sales..

    look 3-4 Mega hotels projects on stream or in the pipeline so things are well and good in Dominica….but sadly the foolish citizens in dominica are not concerned about anything as they refuse to make changes or even asked questions….

    so no need placing these advisories out…what does it matter to a ignorant society!

      Lord forgive South Beach who is not speaking for the majority of Dominicans. We are a God fearing nation. Spare us O Lord, from any weather systems that could bring distress to your citizens. This we pray, acknowledging, Thy Will will be done, Amen.

      Your comments are uncalled for and out of the way. Bringing up matters which have absolutely nothing to do with the weather forecast. They benefit no one. You make a poor conversationalist and a nonsensical one. Stick to the issue! :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:

      Your comment, calling the D/can society ignorant, you are insulting them and generalizing that everyone in D/ca is ignorant. It is uncalled for.
      Judge people by what they say and do. Do not judge who you do not know and what you do not know about them much more not knowing them. It is also the height of ignorance to do so.
      Furthermore, consider they are your D/can people. You depict that you hate D/ca and all D/cans. What have they done to you? According to what Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us and the writings of St. Paul, as inspired by the Holy Spirit, people will pay for their words. They will not escape.
      As Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “. . . By their words they will be acquitted and by their words they will be condemned.” This depends on what they state.
      Some people have not yet learned to strive for perfection and to do good. I hope you are not one of those who call him/herself a Christian. For your words are definitely not Christian-like.
