4 dead as floods and landslides hit Martinique
Associated Press
2009-05-06 10:06 AM

Torrential rains on the Caribbean island of Martinique have flooded towns and touched off landslides. Four people are reported dead.

An estimated 300 millimeters (12 inches) of rain fell in some areas in just a few hours beginning Monday night. About 80 percent of the island's schools were closed. Some 20,000 households lost power, but only about 2,000 clients remain without lights.

Martinique's appointed leader, Ange Mancini, says emergency crews are helping people affected and the situation is slowly improving.

The island is still recovering from a monthlong strike that paralyzed the economy earlier this year.

Great to hear from you Gusty

I had some problems with the roof - see my earlier post - I'm only 34 km away from Martinique on the southern end of Dominica. Lots of rain in 3 days now. Looks like everything is OK on the island. I didn't hear anything bad yet.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
337 PM AST WED MAY 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE NORTH OF 30N WILL MAINTAIN A
FRESH TRADE WIND FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK. A BROAD TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN TO
THE NORTH OF HISPANIOLA WILL COMBINE WITH A VERY MOIST EAST
SOUTHEAST FLOW TO RESULT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE
ON SHORE AFFECTING THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF PUERTO RICO THIS
AFTERNOON. ALSO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OVER THE REST
OF THE ISLANDS.

THESE SHOWERS HAVE CONTINUED TO SLOWLY SATURATE THE LOCAL SOILS
INCREASING THE FLOOD AND LANDSLIDE POTENTIAL ACROSS THE ISLAND
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE GFS AND THE NAM MODELS ARE SUGGESTING A
MUCH UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE ON THURSDAY WITH A MORE STABLE AND DRIER
CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY. THE GFS MODEL SUGGEST SEVERAL VORT MAX
ASSOCIATED TO THIS MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE
LOCAL AREA THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. THEREFORE EXPECT WET
CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE INCOMING WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS AND OCCASIONAL TSRA WITH GUSTY
WINDS WILL BE AFFECTING MOST OF THE LOCAL TAF SITES THROUGHOUT THE
EVENING. ON THURSDAY...MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASES GENERATING
MVFR AND LOWER CIGS/VSBYS AT MOST SITES...WITH AFTERNOON
CONVECTION AND TSRA AFFECTING A GREAT DEAL OF THE LOCAL AREA.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS WILL REMAIN MAINLY FROM THE EAST SOUTHEAST FOR THE
NEXT 36 HOURS BUT THEY WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY EAST ON THURSDAY AND
INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA. THE BUOY 41043 IS REPORTING SEAS OF 7 TO
8 FEET...THEREFORE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE OFF
SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS.

You're extremely right HUC, but should i add that right now St Marteen and St Barthelemy are in yellow alert too, for a risk of strong showers and tstorms. Guadeloupe and...Martinica are always in yellow alert, what a mess!
For all the Leewards islanders be very prudent too, i do not forget Dominica and Martinica... Luis keep an eye your on this, as Huc said : " be on your guard"...
