Rains Blanket Territory, St. Croix Hit Hardest
By Source Staff — November 10, 2010 Flooding in Concordia on St. Croix was especially severe. (Photo Bill Kossler)While Wednesday was wet across the territory, St. Croix seemed to suffer the most. Severe flooding closed the St. Croix public schools at noon and sent nonessential government workers home at 1 p.m. Schools and government offices on St. Thomas and St. John remained open. Public Works Commissioner Darryl Smalls called the situation on St. Croix critical. Flash Floods Wreaking Havoc in Frederiksted By Bill Kossler — November 10, 2010 Emancipation Drive was quickly eroding due to flash flooding.Flash floods Wednesday in Frederiksted, which many residents say are the worst in memory, have done severe damage to parts of the Frederiksted waterfront and nearby “This is just tremendous,” said Phylis Joseph of Estate La Grange. “I've never seen rain or flooding like this, and I was here for Hugo.” La Grange is cut off to motor vehicles in both directions. At 2 p.m. a riotous four-foot-deep cataract rolled across Concordia Rd., carrying trees and debris toward the sea. In the other direction, water began at Rotary West, increasing to more than three-feet deep for several hundred yards, making the road impassable that direction to vehicles smaller than a firetruck. ------------- UPTOWN BABIES DON'T CRY; THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HUNGER IS LIKE.

We experienced an earthquake last night. It wasn't heavy on the Richter scale, but we felt it. Tsunami came to my mind. Most of us live close to the ocean so I was very much concerned.
This is the end times, people. There shall be wars and rumours of wars. Earthquakes, pestilence, children making children, children killing their parents...and the list goes on. ------------- UPTOWN BABIES DON'T CRY; THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HUNGER IS LIKE.

So Sad.

According to preliminary information from the Traffic Investigation Bureau, the victim was driving with a passenger on Salt River Road, in the vicinity of Salt River Marina, at about 10:45 p.m. when they noticed land crabs in the area. Both people got out of the car. The car continued moving and ran over the victim, police say. Traffic Investigation officers said the driver failed to secure his vehicle, resulting in his own death. This investigation will remain open pending the findings of the medical autopsy. ------------- UPTOWN BABIES DON'T CRY; THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HUNGER IS LIKE.

So true.
Do you think they should arrest the car? That's vehicular homicide, right?  ------------- UPTOWN BABIES DON'T CRY; THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HUNGER IS LIKE. THEY GOT MOMMY AND DADDY; AND LOTS OF TOYS TO PLAY WITH. |
