considering we are experiencing our portion of a global problem I wonder how they would have prevented it. Pray tell the whole world wants to know. Come on… the English, Germans,Greeks,Italians and Americans to nane a few are waiting.

Gibbons and Dunkley, would not have let Bermuda be in the state that it it is now.

Political bickering is not needed right now. For the next few days we ALL need to join together as HUMAN BEINGS to make it out safely and help those who need it after the storm passes. Not the Govt., the expats, not the lazy guy down the road and not the rich man up on the hill is to blame for Leslie…its mother nature. God bless us ALL and keep us safe.

Maybe they can only track that far in advanced. Maybe giving too much information might create too much anxiety in the community, or they might not want to give incorrect info (being cautious) and then hear from the greater community saying “they don’t know what they are doing.
It might just be proto-call

If we would exercise a bit of patience we will be at peace.

Thats right & the surface winds blow into the center in a spiraling direction therefore if the center passes to the east winds will be from the westerly quadrants.

There is more hot air being generated on island & being blown around than Leslie is producing.

Yes the comments about the lack of a new causeway 9 years after Fabian are valid however at this point people should be more concerned about getting good information about the storm.

Third party I heards, he said, she said, even official 2nd hand sources are unreliable & tend to whip people into a frenzy. Been into a hardware store or supermarket in the past few days?

Madhouses.

For ‘horses mouth’ info use nothing but the Naional Hurricane Center website. That is where all the others who produce the pretty graphics get theirs.

Gosh-we can’t even have a hurricane without the political bickering???

How about saying our prayers that we come through this safetly? We’re talking about infrastructure? You’re assuming that we all survive this-never assume. We are at the mercy of Mother Nature-anything can happen and we’re still bickering about the PLP this and that…it’s ridiculous! How about getting on your knees and praying that God spares our lives and leave all the rest of the ugliness for when we forget that we should be grateful to be alive…because you know the gratefulness will quickly wear off once the storm passes-just as with ALL the storms of life, we’re quick to stop being so grateful once the storm clouds pass, innit?

Tired of your negative remarks if you don’t have anything good to sy don’t say it at all. Be mindful of the raft that will come back on you.

To all you bloggers who don’t have anything positive to write give it a rest especially Pepper. Just pray for the Island and safety of our people, this don’t have anything to do with government it’s nature . Prayer is needed for all now and forever more.

While you raise a good point about the bridge since I’m hearing the hurricane is reaching category 3 strength-the hurricane is literally a few days away from impact. They cannot replace the bridge in that short amount of time so please find something more productive to do. No one cares about your political opinion/agenda/ranting right now.

please explain bernews y the bws says the closest point in the next 72 hours….earlier this week alot of people was saying the storm was coming on thursday 12 noon…..i always look at the nhc website and it was showing sunday….and there was a lot of bermudian saying thursday…..i think the bws need to stop saying the closest point in the next 72 hours as it gets some bermudians confused…..then you might get one poor sole who thinks the storm has passed and didnt use that time to get prepared

*Slaps Forehead* I’ll say it again! Are you listening Triangle Drifter / Pepper? GIVE IT A FLIPPIN BREAK FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! People are sick of hearing your rants. Lets hope we can band together at least for the coming weeks to ensure this Island is not blown off the map!

If only that anti PLP bloggers hadn’t expressed their opinions on this and other sites, perhaps the storm might not be heading this way. Mr Wayne Furbert, I feel your pain sir.

@pepper can you people just for once keep politics out of everything. Why don’t you just take a few moments to pray for the safety of our Beloved Island and our people.

Sorry for being a bit confused but the tracks indicate most likely eye passage to the east yet wind direction forcasts have the wind direction east veering southeast & around to the southwest, as if the eye is passing to the west of the island.

What is going on?

How long wil it take to get another temporary bridge if the one that we have now is washed away ? Paula said that the P.L.P. have spent money on the infrastructure of the Island !!!!!! welll what will happen if this bridge is wiped out by the impending hurricane ? and also the roads are in a mess , the buses are always breaking dowwn,…and the ferry service is in a turmoil…and the trash pick is another matter !!! so much for the infrastructure and the money that was allocated for this….it is not adding up madam Premier , you can fool some of the people some of the time… but we right thinking Bermudians are not fools…….
