WEATHER: Flash flood for Dominica discontinued but maybe reinstated later today

Tropical storm Dorian continues to move away from the Lesser Antilles, according to weather advisory issued by the Dominica Meteorological Services. However, unstable conditions associated with Tropical Storm Dorian will continue to maintain occasional cloudiness, some scattered showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms across parts of the island during the next 24 hours.

Due to the anticipation for a reduction in shower activity during this morning, the flash flood watch has been discontinued but may be reinstated later today.

Moderate seas are expected during the next 24 hours with waves now expected to peak near 8.0 feet. Small craft operators and other sea users, particularly on the west coast, are advised to continue to exercise caution.

    The people of Scott’s Head ”Kashakoo” allu need to thank the many who prayed for Dorian to give Dominica a miss . Allu too ungreatfull . God alone knows what would happen with the slightest of sea swells . Allu must wait , One day, some day , maybe soon too , allu will realize the importance of that sea wall . A life was lost because of the inadequate protection , but allu just there waiting . Always last in everything , just because it is the last point in the southern end of Dominica .MMCE don’t build sea walls ; Chavez dead, wait, Martinique will build it for allu , while billions flowing in and out .

    DNO, could you obtain and post report(s) on any damage or injury caused by Dorian in Dominica similar to what you posted for Barbados.

    ADMIN: When contacted the ODM indicated that there is nothing to report. Any public statement must come from the government or authorized agency as was done in Barbados.

    Jesus performed a miracle to protect us from a potential category 5 devastating hurricane like David and Maria. Let us give him all praises and thanks. When we compared Maria to Dorian we know that Jesus answered our prayed to turn Dorian into a breeze and a drizzle.
    So let us put our trust in Jesus and give him praise and thanks for his protection and defense against all hurricanes now and always.
    We should also appreciate the team like interventions of the disaster management office and DNO for informed awareness.
