Tropical Depression #9—one of three weather systems currently being monitored by the Department of Disaster Management (DDM), in the Atlantic—has been upgraded to Tropical Storm ‘Isaac’ and appears to have the potential of becoming an immediate threat to the Territory.
This, according to a DDM advisory, issued today, September, 9, 2018, which cautioned that “strengthening (of the weather system) is forecast during the next few days, and Isaac is expected to become a hurricane by Monday.”
The National Hurricane Centre as such, continues to issue advisories on multiple systems in the Atlantic.
The focus is on Tropical Storm Isaac, as it has the potential of affecting the Virgin Islands later next week, DDM said.
It was noted that residents and visitors should continue to expedite preparations as Tropical Storm Isaac is projected to be a hurricane upon approaching the Lesser Antilles.

an app from the 'play store' to monitor emergency info from DDM. it came from a local cell number which had
along side it, a picture of a girl kind of dolled up, not a DDM or emergency type picture. i cannot imagine why
anyone would do this. DDM sends messages that show up on another cell frequency and no personal 'selfies'.
