Special Weather Warning | Nassau / Paradise Island, Bahamas | Bahamas Local News - Nassau / Paradise Island, Bahamas

The Bahamas Department of Meterology has issued a Special Weather Warning with immediate effect until 4:45 p.m. EDT, Thursday August 6, 2013.
A special weather warning is in effect for New Providence and the Islands of Andros including its adjacent waters. 

At 2:45 p.m. EDT radar and satellite data indicated a cluster of showers and thunderstorms moving slowly Westward over the warning are.

This system has produced thunderstorms and dangerous lighting, heavy downpours.

Residents in the warning areas and in particular low-lying area such as Pinewood Gardens should take the necessary action to protect their property.

Currently we are in the New Moon phase and as a result, flooding in inevitable due the alignment allows for a gravitation attraction on water bodies. Subsequently, the water table will move closer to the Earth's surface making it difficult for drainage.

BIMINI UPDATE via Explorer Chartbooks

BIMINI UPDATE | Bahamas Chatter  (click to go to the website)


There are currently no problems with the channel leading into North Bimini. Two large, easily seen buoys, a red and a green, mark the entrance to the channel near their charted locations. The dredging operation has been suspended and there is no equipment in the harbour, yet it is expected to continue on an as-needed basis to keep the channel open for the fast ferry, which comes on weekends. Seaplane service from Florida is active in the harbour, so you should be aware of the possibility of a landing in North Bimini harbour as you traverse the area.

In North Bimini off of Alice Town, there is a new concrete jetty jutting out from the government dock. It has a green quick-flashing light on the end of it.

Also, the old Customs building near the government dock is slated to be torn down. It is currently not being used. The Customs officer is now located at Bimini Big Game, where cruisers must go to clear in. The Immigration officer is still in the small building next to the old Customs House. Reports are that stays as long as six months are being granted in Bimini.

THE SIDNEY POITIER BRIDGE


THE bridge to Paradise Island was officially named after renowned Oscar-winning actor Sir Sydney Poitier today.
Hundred of spectators witnessed the unveiling of a plaque that will be placed on an obelisk just to the west of the bridge.
Mr Poitier during his brief remarks reminded the school children who came for the ceremony that they are the future of the country.
Prime Minister Perry Christie call Mr Poitier the "most famous Bahamian in the whole wide world".
"Indeed he is the most globally famous Bahamian of all times," said Mr Christie.
"But it’s not because of his fame that we’re re-naming this bridge for Sir Sydney. Rather, it’s because of the great things that he has done, both on the screen and off the screen, throughout his life."
