Last weekend, social media was ablaze with questions relating to seizures of the above mentioned goods after a news item aired on local television last Friday, April 30.

The stations at Jennings Valley, South Rivers and Majorca recorded over an inch of rainfall over a six (6) hour period today and soils are still saturated from the heavy rainfall event on Thursday April 29th, 2021.
More showers may result in flooding and landslides. There is also a heavy accumulation of volcanic ash especially in valleys close to the La Soufriere Volcano which can result in Lahars or mud flows in rainy conditions.
