Saharan dust affecting VI; Reached hazardous levels- DDM
According to the DDM, today, June 21, 2020, for the past few days the skies over the VI have been very hazy because the dust levels have become hazardous.
“This means visibility is impacted and those who suffer from respiratory illnesses should be on high alert and dust accumulation both indoors and outdoors can be expected,” DDM stated.
Dust can prevent hurricanes from forming- Weather experts
Normally, hundreds of millions of tons of dust are picked up from the deserts of Africa and blown across the Atlantic Ocean each year. That dust helps build beaches in the Caribbean and fertilizes soils in the Amazon. It can also affect air quality in North and South America.
Rick Davis, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Ruskin office, said the slow-moving dust is “robbing the air of all its moisture.”
The good news there is that tropical storms and hurricanes rely on air that is both warm and moist in order to form.

Yes, well said. , imagine this:
Revelation 1: 14-15 - "the hair on his head was like spun gold, and his eyes were like blazing sapphire, deep and blue as the sea. His feet were like opal, pink and glowing brightly in the sun".
I guess they could not write blasphemy like that because they did not have the original.
As per usual they are not the governing body that produces or weather forecasts and rely on Antigua for everything. If you are not prepared do not take responsibility for a field you do not understand.
