00:00Let's check in with Rochelle for more in tonight's weather forecast.
00:03Thank you, Disha. Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago.
00:07A lot has happened within the last 24 hours, so let's get to it.
00:12As we would have mentioned earlier, yesterday afternoon at least 188 people have been killed,
00:19thousands injured, and at least 157 people are still missing
00:24after two major earthquakes shook Venezuela and capital of Caracas.
00:30Yesterday's 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes were among the strongest to strike Venezuela
00:36in more than a century, toppling several buildings and sending people rushing out of their damaged homes.
00:43The death toll is expected to rise.
00:46Following the quakes in Venezuela, a separate 5.6 magnitude tremor hit Northern California
00:54and a 6.9 magnitude earthquake was reported in Japan.
00:57So let's keep everyone in our prayers.
01:00Moving on to conditions tonight, tonight you can expect mostly fair but hazy conditions
01:05with a gentle breeze and the odd shower with minimum temperatures at 25 degrees in Trinidad
01:12and 26 in Tobago.
01:13And here's what your Friday is looking like.
01:16According to the Met Office, mostly sunny, slightly hazy and breezy conditions expected
01:22with maximum temperatures of 32 degrees in Trinidad and 31 in Tobago.
01:27So conditions are looking nice tomorrow, but you should also look out for that surge of Saharan dust
01:34in the atmosphere.
01:35It is moving across Trinidad and Tobago with air quality at moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups across the country.
01:44So take the necessary precautions.
01:46Now, if you're planning on running your errands this weekend, here's what you can look out for.
01:51Both days will start off initially fair and breezy, becoming invariably cloudy by mid-morning with scattered showers.
01:59There's a medium chance of thunderstorm activity, so run your errands with your umbrella and thank me later.
02:06Tell Sun Times Now in Trinidad.
02:08Sunrise is at 5.46 and 5.41 in Tobago and sunset at 6.31 in Trinidad and 6.28
02:14in Tobago.
02:15And if the letter F in Friday stands for Find Me at the Beach, then you should know that seas
02:21will be moderate
02:22with waves near 2 meters in open waters and below 1 meter, occasionally choppy, in sheltered areas.
02:28It's now time for your Thai Times.
02:41In light of the earthquakes that took place yesterday and with today being Thursday, it's time for a quick fill
02:47in the blank.
02:48The safest action during an earthquake is to drop, blank, and hold on.
02:53And the answer is, of course, cover.
02:56Drop, cover, and hold on.
02:58It's the safest action to take during an earthquake because it reduces your risk of serious injury.
03:04Drop to your hands and knees to prevent being knocked down.
03:08Cover your head and neck under a sturdy table or desk if possible.
03:12Hold on to your shelter until shaking stops as it may move during the earthquake.
03:18Well, now you know.
03:19And, well, that's all for weather tonight.
03:21Sachin, give us all the details on all the World Cup action.
03:26Well, a tremor of a different kind occurred today as Ecuador stuns Germany in the World Cup fixture.
03:31Sri Lanka fights back against West Indies on opening day of first test in Antigua.
03:36And Windy's women hoping to seal qualification with a win over Ireland.
03:40Your number one sportscast is up next.
03:43The best answer is Arthur believed in an an disastrousloeschan.
