Perhaps if people kept their OWN trees and hedges cut back and not relied on someone else to do a homeowner’s job, you’d gripe less. Most of the areas covered by W & E (public road areas not bordering private property) have undergone major trimming back in the last year or so…

I wonder if dunkley will still be going to england for the rum fest on the 22nd… £8000 pounds to rent the venue for one night!
I for one don’t think it would be responsible as the minister of national security to leave the island in the wake of these storms.
Or will second banana fillin and stay this time? (Jb)

Pick one of any number of weather sites online. They all get their imformation from the same source. The National Hurricane Center in Miami.

The NHC does not have all of the fancy graphics & such but all of the imformation is right there.

The warning that the eye had reformed more to the west, closer to Bermuda, was there for all to see in their Saturday evening advisory.

What ‘tropical storm’ does this type of damage? This storm uprooted huge and heavy trees and did so much damage etc that past hurricanes like Fabian didn’t even do! I do not trust the BWS anymore. Key thing is to just prepare for the worst at all times now.

Yet again BAS/ serco were completely asleep yet again, further evidence the BAS Serco are no up to the job, but this time its more serious than the inability to clean aircraft toilets, lives are put in jeopardy when proper notification of this type of weather event is to take place, and they still call it a TS.. really no 50mph wind took these trees down, Government really needs to take a look at just what we get for our money here bad enough every other daily forcast is wrong but this is a disgrace that needs to be looked at!

ghost: You need to get educated as to how a hurricane works. It came from the south east direction yes – but the winds go in a circular motion. So depending on where you are in relation to the storm, the wind could be in any direction.

When a storm passes to the west of us (most so), the wind starts out of the east, then turns south, then west.

When a storm passes to the east (like this one)then the wind starts from the east, then goes NORTH, then west.

Most notably, the next storm is forecast to pass to the east, and be much worse than this one.

According to the poster above you, this is God’s marvellous work – he is showing us how wonderful he is and why we should worship him. I disagree with this entirely. i won;t put what I really think because they will delete it.

While the EMO & BWS are busy covering their collective you know whats, I have a question. Whatever happened to the emergency text message? I remember receiving a test message on my cellphone about 2 years or so ago which was supposed to be utilized in the event of an emergency. Was this not an emergency? What happen? Was this method of communication abandoned or just overlooked? If the technology is available, why wasn’t it used?

Yeah He always send a clean up crew after he knock’s us in the Ox, or have you not been looking at the wonderful coverage Bernews has been supply us with. I think God does a marvelous job through Bernews, He shows us when we are about to be hit and then afterwards allows Bernews to go out and show the extensive damages, so we know exactly where to go to work and clean up, then you see all the crews from all walks of life trying to put everything back to normal, so He does send folk to clean up so what happen to your lazy self.

In all seriousness this is a great opportunity for the government to help some of those who are unemployed, during the after math of Hurricane Fabian, the then government hired people who were unemployed to work with Ag $ Fish to help in the clean up process and I think it would be a excellent idea right now as we do have the winter approaching, along with the Christmas holidays,there are some in Bermuda who were suffering long before the storm and just maybe what maybe a disaster for some is a blessing for others that can now get work, even if it is temporary.

No duh. Maybe they should have told us this before it actually happened. Worst forecasters in the world.

And if he’d caused a few senseless deaths – you could easily say ‘he took them because he needed them’. Or ‘the lord works in mysterious ways’.

Sorry I am just one of those who love when God shows that no matter what we think or say He is still in control, some call it mother nature. I choose to call it a force that only Almighty God can stop and mankind can predict it’s path and force but are powerless to stop it’s force.

BS, the Bermuda weather service is the worst weather forcasters Iv’e ever wathced, not only this storm, but many days when they say sunny days or partly cloudy it rains and vise versa. Seems like they get all their info from overseas anyway, might as well just listen to the real weather channel,and only use the radar we have down by the airport for short forcasts and rain bands.
