God is a Trinidadian

So, we're in the middle of hurricane season, and you may hear on the news about storms and hurricanes killing people in the Caribbean. Not to worry: I've been told "God is a Trinidadian." We are the last island in the Caribbean chain, and outside the Hurricane Belt. I've also been told that there have been many hurricanes that have passed through the "And" part of the country; or right in the middle of Trinidad And Tobago.
In a nice ironic twist to the post title, 3 people have died of Dengue Fever in the last few days. "Several" cases have been reported over the past several weeks. It's impossible to get real information around here; and the Government officials in the Ministry of Health are always trying to downplay the severity of the issue (like any good Government Official).
