Rivers rising, flooding reported as Adverse Weather Alert remains in effect— authorities urge continued vigilance
The Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government (MoRDLG) is urging citizens to remain on high alert as the Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level) remains in effect for Trinidad and Tobago following a full day of inclement weather on Tuesday, November 25, which resulted in localized flooding and rapidly rising river levels in several communities.

The Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government (MoRDLG) is urging citizens to remain on high alert as the Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level) remains in effect for Trinidad and Tobago following a full day of inclement weather on Tuesday, November 25, which resulted in localized flooding and rapidly rising river levels in several communities.
The alert, issued by the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), remains in effect until 9:00 p.m. today.
Although weather conditions showed some improvement in parts of the country earlier in the day, the Ministry warned that runoff from sustained rainfall has significantly increased water levels along the Caroni River, with levels expected to approach critical thresholds. Authorities cautioned that brief, localized overspill remains possible, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas of the lower Caroni Basin.
Smaller watercourses and drains may also become overwhelmed during periods of heavy rainfall, particularly near the time of high tide at approximately 7:03 p.m.
The Ministry confirmed that localized street and residential flooding occurred in areas within the Penal/Debe Regional Corporation (PDRC) and the Sangre Grande Regional Corporation (SGRC). These incidents were described as short-term, and water levels have since begun to subside. At this time, there has been no significant or widespread impact reported.
Additional incidents recorded throughout the day included:
A fallen tree along the North Coast Road, Maracas Bay within the San Juan/Laventille Regional Corporation
A fallen utility pole along Siparia Old Road in the Siparia Borough Corporation
In both cases, Disaster Management Unit (DMU) teams and relevant response agencies were swiftly deployed, and the affected roadways have since been **cleared and are now fully

Four Windies players hit fifties in New Zealand warm-up match

WEST INDIES batsmen got stuck in on day one of their two-day warm-up match against a New Zealand XI at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln University, on November 25, as the visitors closed on 346 for five at stumps.
With the match serving as vital preparation for West Indies ahead of their three-match Test series against the Kiwis, which bowls off on December 1, the top order showed good form after the regional team won the toss. Tagenarine Chanderpaul (85 off 211 balls), Brandon King (79 off 91), John Campbell (68 off 98) and Kavem Hodge (55 not out off 102) all scored fifties in a strong batting display.
Campbell and Chanderpaul set the tone in their 130-run opening partnership, with the former being the aggressor as he struck nine fours and a six before being caught at mid-off from the bowling of left-arm pacer Thomas O'Connor (one for 31). King then showed his intent early with a couple of stylish cover drives to the boundary, and he and Chanderpaul took the regional team to Tea without further loss as the score moved to 207.
Chanderpaul struck five fours and two sixes in his innings, which was retired at the Tea interval as he made way for Hodge, who's hoping to suit up in his first Test since the tour of Pakistan in January. After scoring 12 boundaries in a breezy innings, King was the next man to be dismissed when he was caught and bowled by leg-spinner Rahman Hekmat (one for 84) as the Windies slipped to 251 for three. Middle-order batsman Alick Athanaze didn't stick around for long and made a cameo of 23 off 34 balls before he was dismissed by Toby Hart (one for 28).
Hodge and wicket-keeper/batsman Tevin Imlach (25 off 46) then added 68 runs for the fifth wicket before the latter was bowled by left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox with what turned out to be the final ball of the day's play as he went for an extravagant cover drive.

Griffith: ‘Government shouldn’t ask others to revoke visas’
FORMER national security minister Gary Griffith has expressed concern over reports that Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander is seeking help from the US Embassy to revoke the visas of US-based social media users including bloggers, who have dual nationality, and who are targeting Trinidad and Tobago by spreading propaganda and fear.

FORMER national security minister Gary Griffith has expressed concern over reports that Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander is seeking help from the US Embassy to revoke the visas of US-based social media users including bloggers, who have dual nationality, and who are targeting Trinidad and Tobago by spreading propaganda and fear.
Griffith’s concerns came against the background of Fisherman and Friends of the Sea’s secretary Gary Aboud’s US visa being revoked. Aboud claimed this happened because of his public opposition to government’s support of US military deployment in the southern Caribbean which began in August.
In a video posted on social media on November 24, Griffith said it was the right of any country to deny a visa to anyone who wishes to enter that country, if that person breached laws of that country.
Griffith, also a former police commissioner and TT Regiment captain, added he has been engaged in public service over the last 30 years.
“Never in my life have I ever seen a politician who holds a position of authority in a government write to another country to revoke the visas of citizens in their own country,” Griffith said.
Griffith, who was national security minister and a national security adviser at different times in Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s May 2010-September 2015 administration, said he was certain Persad-Bissessar “would not endorse a situation where we are in a position now to try to get politicians to write to other countries to take action against citizens of TT.”
He said this could be perceived as a dog whistle for citizens who express views contrary to the government to be muzzled. Griffith added he did not think this was the case.
He said people are entitled to their views and if they break the law, police can take action against them.
In a release on November 21, Aboud questioned whether the government had a hand to play in the visa decision.
In a response on the same day, Persad-Bissessar denied her government’s involvement in the visa revocation and said Aboud’s comments were reckless.
Persad-Bissessar has publicly supported the deployment of US military personnel and officers to the southern Caribbean Sea, with the Trump administration’s description of this being an anti-narcotics exercise aimed at stopping narco-trafficking originating from Venezuela.

Victim of home invasion pleads for stand-your-ground laws
A senior citizen, who was a victim of a home invasion on Monday, says he is disappointed that the promised stand-your-ground legislation has not yet been enforced.

A senior citizen, who was a victim of a home invasion on Monday, says he is disappointed that the promised stand-your-ground legislation has not yet been enforced.
The resident of Central Trinidad is pleading with lawmakers to put security measures in place before the Christmas season, when there is usually a spike in violent crimes.
Speaking to the Express at his Ravine Sable, Longdenville, home yesterday, the 61-year-old owner of a transport company said he believed the implementation of stand-your-ground legislation would protect law-abiding citizens.
The homeowner said he and his wife were at home when four masked men entered around 7.15 p.m. when they were watching the news on television.
He said the men, one armed with a gun, pulled into his driveway in a white-coloured MG sport utility vehicle.
“I heard the horn blow and I walk out to see who it is, when I see some men jumping out a car. One point a gun at me and tell me to walk back inside the room,” he recalled, adding, the men shouted “where the money” and ransacked the house.
“I had some money in the room, about $2,900, and I gave that to them—but they say that is not all the money, and they want the money,” he continued.
Three of the men, he said, left the one-bedroom apartment, and went to the main house, where they broke a window, entered the property and ransacked the house.
His son, who lives in the main house, was not at home at the time of the incident, he said.
The intruders found $60,000, jewelry, cellphones, a battery charger, a cordless drill, and $2,000 in alcohol.
Asked why the large sum of money was kept at home, he said his son had recently collected four hands of sou-sou and he had sold an engine from a truck.
He believed the incident was not a random attack. “I believe it was a tip-off. The boy in the room with my wife and I told us that somebody sent them here, and if they ent get what they send them here for, the person who send them will have to pay the consequences,” he said.
As a resident of Ravine Sable for 33 years, he said this was the first time he was a victim of crime.
“I don’t feel safe here now. Every day something happening in this country. When it hit home, that’s when you realise what people going through. I never thought this would happen in my wildest dreams,” he added.

US chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Dan Caine has arrived in Trinidad and Tobago for a meeting with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
Caine, the primary military advisor to US President Donald Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the UN National Security Council, arrived in TT around 11 am and is currently at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's.
In a media release on November 24, the US embassy said the meeting will focus on the two nations’ strong bi-lateral relationship, strengthening regional stability and the vital importance to both countries of countering the illicit traffic in drugs and transnational criminal organisations.
Caine's arrival in TT follows two recent visits by the US 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit to TT for military drills with the TT Defence Force.
The USS Gravely, carrying members of the elite unit, arrived in TT from October 26-30.
A second visit by the unit took place from November 16-21.
US warships have been arriving in the Southern Caribbean since late August as part of an anti-drug trafficking operation, which has been supported by the TT government.
However, the presence of the warships has been criticised by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro who has accused the US of seeking regime change and TT of facilitating such.
Persad-Bissessar has insisted that the US operations are solely geared towards combating drug trafficking.
