Dominica
29.11.11. Several communities in and around Dominica are said to be experiencing some serious flooding as a result of heavy rainfall earlier.

The Canefield Airport is said to be in serious disarray as a result of the flood and several areas in that community including Minia’s 7-11 and the Old Mill Cultural Center.

There have also been claims of landslides and falling rocks under the Canefield cliff so persons traversing the area are being asked to tread carefully.

Meanwhile villagers from the communities of Petite Soufriere all the way to Castle Bruce have been cut off from the rest of Dominica. There are also reports of land slides near La Plaine.

Reports are that villagers are unable to move from their homes as a result massive road blocks.

Barbados

29.11.11. Motorists had to either drive their vehicles onto the pavement yesterday or risk driving through floodwaters that reached higher than the pavements along the stretch of highway along Sion Hill, St James.

A long line of traffic built up when the water made the road almost impassable after an early morning downpour.

Photographer Lennox Devonish got this picture of several cars making their way along the pavement to avoid having to contend with the floodwaters.

Dominican Republic

28.11.11. Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. – North coast downpours since early Sunday in have swelled the Camú river, flooding streets and sectors in Montellano, including the site of Gregorio Luperón hospital, whose yards and entrance are under water.

The constant rains make the river a dangerous torrent causing landslides on the main route between Montellano and the sector Buenpan, where residents say the fear their houses will be dragged downstream.

Residents said the heavy showers began dawn Sunday and continued all day, unleashing new landslides in vulnerable zones, which could wash out the road at any time.

The reporter Aronis Polanco said they’ve repeatedly asked the provincial and government authorities to build a levy to contain the Camú, but nothing has been done, and appears that they await a tragedy before proceeding.

Here is another article about the Chinese influence in the Caribbean, recently from the NYT:

@Allistair: Thank you for the comprehensive history of TT flooding. However, you said earlier that the current flooding is not due to sinking or anything "unusual". I am still not seeing an explanation for why you think that this flooding is "normal". Are you saying this same level of flooding happens nearly on an annual basis? Keep in mind, Nancy has detailed in her letters recently both that there has been seismic activity recently in TT, Nov 11-12, and also about how China and the US have bribed local officials and media in TT to present the flooding there as anything other than the sinking predicted by the Zetas.

ZetaTalk Analysis 9/17/2011: http://www.zetatalk10.com/ning/17sp2011.htm The US is investing a mere $1.5 million and China can certainly afford to continue its investments in the Caribbean and Guyana with an additional $1 billion. The relevant issues are the FOCUS of the bequests. The “impacts of climate change” and “early warning” for “earthquakes and tsunami” are specifically mentioned. The forum was held in TrinidadandTobago,at the heart ofthe sinkingto occurduringthe S American roll. This is at base an attempt to control the local media, to put the right spin on the anticipated sinking. It will be “earthquake tsunami”, not the ZetaTalk predictions, and no mention of the flooding failing to drain. When the failure to drain becomes obvious, then it will be “climate change” with rising seas. Considering what the establishmentin both countriesstandsto lose with a premature break in the cover-up, this is indeed considered a good investment!

It is not only plate sinking. The area of ​​Trinidad is located near the border of plates, and thus pressure from South America can be led to compresion. Were in Trinidad recently the earth subsidence and landslides? If I am not wrong in the past month. Therefore water can flow from the mountains.

20.11.11. Trinidad RESIDENTS: WORST FLOODING IN YEARS

Residents of north-west Trinidad and first responders to disasters were engaged in mopping up exercises and the removal of debris up to last night, after heavy showers caused the Maraval and Dibe Rivers to burst their banks, causing massive floods, landslides and land slips.
