LATEST ST MAARTEN SXM WEATHER UPDATE HURRICANE EDOUARD STILL STRENGHTENING IN THE CARIBBEAN

Hurricane Edouard is spinning in the central Atlantic Ocean, over 400 miles east of Bermuda.
Edouard, the fifth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, will curve northeast then east through the rest of this week. On this track, the system will not pose a threat to Bermuda or the U.S. East Coast.
Edouard is still strengthening and may become the first major hurricane (Category 3 or higher on theSaffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) in the Atlantic basin since Hurricane Sandy, which briefly became a Category 3 storm as it crossed eastern Cuba in October 2012 before devastating the U.S. East Coast. (The Category 3 designation was given to Sandy in a post-season reanalysis in February 2013; while Sandy was in existence, it had only been categorized as a Category 2 hurricane.)
Hurricane Michael, which in 2012 moved over an expanse of open water similar to Edouard's path, is the only other major hurricane in the Atlantic basin in the past three seasons.
Eventually, Edouard will meet up with the upper-level westerlies and merge with a cold front over the north Atlantic Ocean late in the week, spelling its demise as a tropical cyclone.
We have the latest forecast path, current information, satellite image, and model forecast tracks below.

So, where exactly is Edouard's center located now? If you're plotting the storm along with us, the information depicted in the map above provides the latitude/longitude coordinates, distance away from the nearest land location, maximum sustained winds and central pressure (measured in millibars).

WILL THIS BE THE CARIBBEAN FALL IN 2014

We had the Arab Springs, will there be a Caribbean Fall in 2014. The Caribbean bloggers have been going on a rampage, but they haven't gotten to the levels of other countries yet, when it comes to seeking true change. When you google Caribbean blog, you will now see hundreds of bloggers, professional and amateur alike, doing their thing. Some blogs do suck, some are just government propaganda machines, and then there are the really humorous ones. Check out Anguilla Concerned Rumours blogs.

Conjecture by julien petty


I would like to entertain the minds of the readers a little before the holidays.
Now that Wescot-Williams Cabinet III is up and running, poor people are still in dire straits.
Integrity?
Comrades, begone! These politicians would not tell the truth to God. but, I pomised my comrades that I would address the social and political issues more aggressively next year.
You know what next year is? When I tackle the issues I will be more ferocious than my pardner coach Radjouki when he is on the attack in a table-tennis competition, but more on that next year. I am aware that politics is the art of the possible. Now let me engage your minds.
Comrades, if I were to put a government together with all the officials and politicians that are around now, I would do the following:
-Ministerie van Algemene Zaken (Min. AZ): Dr Eugene Haliday (PM)
-Ministerie van Volkshuisvesting, Ruimtelijke Ordening, Milieu en Inrastructuur (Minister of Public Housing  and Spatial Planning Environment and infrastructure: Mr William V Marlin.
- Ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Social Ontwikkeling en Arbeid (Min VSA): Dr Lloyd Richardson.-I believe Dr Lloyd Richardson would shine like a star I have ew reservations.
-Ministerie van Cultuur, Jeugd en Sport (Min OCJS): Sylveria E. Jacobs.- her record speaks volumes.
-Ministerie van Justitie (Min JUS): Mr Todd Peterson without a doubt. Sorry comrades, Todd is my choice. Yes, I know that he is not a politician.
-Ministerie van Toerisme, Economische Zaken, Vervoer en Telecommunicatie (Min): Mrs Claudette Charles Hassel or Mr Stuart Johnson.
-Kabinet  Gevolmachtigde Minister (KGM): Mrs Sarah Wescot Williams-rated very highly or diplomacy
The 15 members in Parliament would be:
1) Lourdes Brooks-Lake,
2) Keith Kendall Dupersoy
3) Christopher C.T. Emmanuel
4)Sylvia Meyers
5)Rhoda Arrindell
6)Rodolphe Samuel
7) Richelda Emmanuel
8) Antonio Brown :)
9) George Pantophlet
10) Don R. Hughes
11) Leona Marlin-Romeos
12) Rudy Engel
13) Henry Salomons
14) Theo Heyliger
15) Leonard Priest.
Comrades Happy Holidays,
