Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 yesterday it was 80F here today, its already in the 70's... Tropical Depression Weakens in Caribbean 1 hour, 33 minutes ago KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent - A tropical depression that had threatened to become yet another named storm in an already record-breaking season dissipated Wednesday following its damaging passage over the Windward Islands. Although the depression was no longer expected to become a tropical storm, its remnants could be absorbed by another system and pose a new threat in one to two days, said Jack Beven, a hurricane specialist with the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. By midday Wednesday, the depression's remnants were centered about 370 miles southwest of the Dominican Republic and about 305 miles southeast of Jamaica. " It just sort of weakened and fizzled out, " Beven said of the system, which forecasters had earlier warned could become the 24th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. In the Windward Island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, authorities evaluated the damage from a day earlier, when the storm system's heavy rain caused flooding and mudslides that killed two fishermen. Authorities also evaluated the damage in Trinidad and Tobago, where flooding swept away two bridges outside the capital, Port-of-Spain. Several towns and villages along Trinidad's north coast were cut off because roads had been washed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
