UPDATE 4: As of Wednesday morning (26th September 2018), Kirk has regained strength and is once again a Tropical Storm. Read the Official Statement from the MET Office here.
UPDATE 3: As of Tuesday evening (25th September 2018), the National Hurricane Center has given a 60% chance that the remanants of Kirk will re-develop into a Tropical Storm once again within the next 48 hours.
UPDATE 2: As of Monday afternoon (24th September 2018), Tropical Storm Kirk has weakened considerably and no longer appears to be a major threat to T&T. It is still being monitored closely as the chance still exists for re-strengthening.
UPDATE: As of Sunday evening (23rd September 2018), Tropical Storm Kirk is maintaining its strength. The Official Track and Model Guidance continue to show the System may be a potential threat to the Southern and Central Windward Islands - which includes Trinidad & Tobago.
The ODPM and the T&T Meteorological Service (TTMS) continue to actively monitor Tropical Storm Kirk in the Atlantic. As the week progress, we will get a better idea as to the degree of impact T&T can expect from Tropical Storm Kirk. Any slight deviation in its course could potentially mean a direct hit to T&T.
View the Public Advisory from the ODPM below - and remember we are still in the Hurricane Season.
Trinidad & Tobago is not currently under any Tropical Storm/Hurricane Watch or Warning at this time. Stay tuned for updates.
Trinidad & Tobago National, Nishal Sankat, who attempted to steal an American Airlines Plane wanted to harm himself and he did not care who else got injured in the process.
Authorities have since learned that Sankat tried twice to get back onto the Plane after he was detained by several Technicians. It seems he was very determined on carrying out his deadly mission. Sankat appeared before a Judge in Florida on Friday 21st September 2018, where he was denied Bond. Sankat is the son of Professor Clement Sankat, a former UWI Principal. Watch the latest News Report on Nishal Sankat below from CNC3 and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
UPDATE (24th September 2018): There has been several new developments regarding Tropical Storm Kirk, which you can catch up on here.
Tropical Storm Kirk has formed in the Eastern Atlantic. It is forecast to move quickly Westward and approach the Windward Islands by next week Thursday 27th September 2018.
This Weather System is being closely monitored and while T&T appears to be in its pathway, it is still too early to tell if we will be hit directly or indirectly. View the Forecast Cones for Tropical Storm Kirk below and let us know your thoughts in the comments. Stay tuned for further updates.
The Ministry of Finance has announced that ‘Budget Day’ will be Monday 1st October 2018.
After the whole Petrotrin situation (near 5,000 jobs were lost), we’re not expecting the Minister of Finance to say T&T is in the best of shape. Either way, the Budget will be read at 1:30pm on that particular day. See the very brief Media Release from the Ministry of Finance below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
The T&T Meteorological Office has issued an Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level) from 3am on Friday 21st September until 6pm on Saturday 22nd September 2018.
This is due to activity associated with the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Landslips, Gusty Winds and Flooding are possible in some areas. See more details about the Adverse Weather Alert below.
22-year-old Trinidadian, Nishal Sankat, breached a Security Fence at Orlando Melbourne International Airport in Florida around 2am on Thursday 20th September 2018 and boarded a vacant American Airlines Plane.
Sankat is a former Hillview College Student who is currently studying Aviation Management in Florida and has completed some Flight Training. He apparently left his car running in front of the Airport’s Passenger Terminal before his as-yet-unknown mission began. The Plane he boarded is large enough to hold up to two hundred (200) Passengers, but was out of service and blocked-in by Aircraft Chocks to prevent movement. Sankat was tackled by Technicians who were working on the Plane at the time. The Airport was placed on a lockdown that lasted until about 7am. All flights at the Airport, which handles about 500,000 Passengers a year, were suspended for about five (5) hours. Two (2) Flights from the Airport were also delayed. U.S Authorities charged Sankat with a criminal attempt to steal an Airplane, a VISA violation as well as criminal trespassing. See his photo below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
