What rain? Out east there were a couple of drops around four then it was beautiful weather. I'm really skeptical about all of these dog who cried wolf warnings...unless of course it poured cars and dogs out west.

Mr. "skeptic" ThisisOurs, I should not dignify your stupid ignorant comment with a response, but the fact of the matter is BEC cut the power for over 3 hours yesterday and a few hours after the power outage, it rained in the area I live. Your comment was stupid. You must have a generator, so it is nice and cool for you, and yu can afford to talk stupid cause you don't feel the heat, but I don't and I can't afford to buy one so I must suffer at the hands of this PLP Government and BEC and it is hell in the heat. BEC can't service the Bahama NOW, and they sure won't be able to power BAHMAR.

A. My power was cut three times yesterday, once in the pre dawn hours, once shortly after 8 if I remember correctly and then again for about two to three hours. I said "what rain" because during those outages it rained once for maybe five minutes so not a viable excuse for BEC. B. I don't have a generator and being female and still unequal I'm sure I was more hot than you. C. I completely agree with you BEC has major 40 year in the making problems, both man and machine made they need to hand it off to a reputable energy company not one of their boys. D. "Dog who cried wolf warnings" was referring to the "severe weather warning" from the Met...i barely saw any rain, maybe two thunder rumblings, and I was actually praying for rain to cool things off, hence I said "unless it poured out west". E. That said I'm confused why the comment was "ignorant" and "stupid", Chill ok.
