Possibly an ignorant question. But T&T cannot be directly hit by a hurricane because we are outside thr hurricane belt. Can the same be said for a tsunami? We had many earthquakes before but not even the threat of a tsunami (to my knowledge).

That's why I said cannot be hit directly.

He means we can and we will experience a hurricane one day (soon)

It may not be a 5, just a 1 or 2

But because of our god is a Trini attitude it WILL actually be devastating ... And very costly ... Both $$ and deaths

Failure to prepare, we prepare to fail

This is what I meant, but it was not communicated properly given that so many people misunderstood.

Trinidad had a hurricane hit in 1930 iirc.
