You're one of my favorites.

[bluestarone]

12. Thinking about you here as well!!

Be careful. take care!!

[BadgerMom]

We’ll be thinking of you and your fellow Jamaicans.

[malaise]

14. Thanks everyone

He king out standby stuff
We expect about 12 hours of madness.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Damn damn damn

It may be like Hurricane Maria and what that did to Puerto Rico, if this one cuts across the island.

[malaise]

37. I think the eye will stay below us but there

will be serious damage. The good news - it’s moving at 22mph - a hit and run. Recovery will start quickly.

[BumRushDaShow]

38. Yes

I am shocked how fast it is moving and has been doing so for an extended time too. They normally move at 12 - 15 mph and only hit that faster speed if they manage to get captured in a jetstream. Hopefully it will be in and out quick.

[malaise]

39. The experts are also stunned

Fast moving storms don’t usually intensify like this one - one for the record books in more ways than one.

[nolabear]

42. BBQ perishables first. Don't open the freezer.

Use water from the toilet tank or if you can bleed the hot water heater. Charge everything you can from the car. Help one another.
I’m out here sending storm-pushing vibes!

[onecaliberal]

15. Safety vibes. Hoping it is as minimal as it can be.

[FM123]

16. Sure hope you are safe and sound.

I remember all the times you checked in on us here in FL - now it's our turn to check in on you and make sure that YOU are okay too, my dear. Let us know, we really care.

[ShazzieB]

17. "Beryl downgraded from a record-breaking Category 5 as it heads toward Jamaica"

Sure glad to see it's been downgraded!

Keep safe, malaise!

[DinahMoeHum]

23. Still a dangerous storm, though.

Lighting a candle for you and your peeps, Malaise. especially for tomorrow, Wednesday.

[ancianita]

18. Stay safe, my friend. Hope you're getting the hell out of Jamaica for the duration.

34. The problem is that anyone who leaves will most likely not be able to get back there

for weeks, maybe months. Airports will be shut down for everything but emergency supplies, harbors will be completely wrecked and need to be cleaned up before even yachts can safely come in.

It's a hard judgment call to make. Leaving will ensure survival, but there would be nothing left to return to. Staying is dangerous, but at least you'd be home, even if home is a blue tarp stretched over rubble and a daily scramble for bottled water and sandwiches, looking for things to salvage.

It's grim either way.

[HeartsCanHope]

19. Be safe, Malaise!

Will be thinking of everyone there, but especially you!

[CaptainTruth]

20. I've been thinking the same! Stay safe!!!

[Warpy]

21. Yeah, Beryl is no lady

Current track has it going right through the middle of the island. This looks like it will be about as bad as it can get.

[Bettie]

24. Hoping you come through

this with minimal damage!

[CaptainTruth]

25. Downgraded from 5 to 4, expected to weaken further.

Beryl downgraded from a record-breaking Category 5 as it heads toward Jamaica

Hurricane Beryl was losing some steam Tuesday afternoon as it closed in on Jamaica.

According to the National Hurricane Center, Beryl was downgraded to a Category 4 from a Category 5, but its maximum sustained winds remained dangerous at 155 mph.

Beryl is forecast to continue to weaken as it moves through the Caribbean Sea but is still expected to be a major hurricane when it reaches Jamaica on Wednesday.

26. Hoping for Cat2

😀

[Bayard]

29. Hoping for that too

Be safe!

[highplainsdem]

30. {{{{{malaise}}}}} Me, too! Prayers and positive vibes for you and everyone affected by the storm.

[CaptainTruth]

32. I'm in FL, I totally understand.

Looks like that's what cyclocane is predicting. Thinking of you!

35. We've escaped a direct hit since Gilbert

We knew it was overdue
Kingston will be a freaking mess and and so will other coastaltowns

[LeftInTX]

45. Sadly, I think it's going to be a high-end Cat 3, unless significant sheer gets to it.

[AllaN01Bear]

27. what they said . talked to malaise last evening via pm.

fingers and toes crossed .

[Dave Bowman]

28. Please stay safe!

[malthaussen]

31. Hah, Malaise is so tough, she could stand out there and stare Beryl down...

... the hurricane should be afraid of Malaise, not the other way around.

33. Bwaaaaah

Nature is boss 😀😂😀

[Generic Other]

36. Keep your feet dry

And the wind behind you. Good Luck 🍀 and hopefully keep posting as long as you can. DU is a good place to weather a storm.

[malaise]

40. From the great Weather Underground

https://www.wunderground.com/article/safety/hurricane/news/2020-06-18-hurricane-tropical-storm-forward-speed-fast-slow

But there is another statistic that doesn't usually stand out, but you'll typically see on a graphic. A storm's forward speed can play a major role in the damage it is able to inflict.

According to NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, a hurricane's average forward speed is about 11 to 12 mph in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and tropical Atlantic Ocean from 10 to 30 degrees North latitude.

It's those hurricanes and tropical storms that move much faster or slower that can amplify its destructive potential. There have been a number of each of these recently
———
Beryl is a very fast mover 22mph now but it has intensified rapidly.

[malaise]

41. Tomorrow is the big dance

Thanks all😀

[LeftInTX]

44. You got this! Stay safe!

This is one scary hurricane!

[LeftInTX]

43. It's been downgraded or it is upgraded to a Cat 4! Progress!

You got this!


Jul 3 00:00 GMT 16.1 -71.7 150 mph 943 mb Hurricane 4

[roamer65]

46. Yes!!!

Malaise. Be safe.

[LeftInTX]

47. Now it seems to be moving super fast and looks like it will hit Jamaica earler...ugh....

As is usual it appears to be gaining in size overnight. Was hoping it wouldn't hit Jamaica until late afternoon.

[LeftInTX]

48. Thoughts with Malaise and Jamaica!

It's a 145 mph Cat 4 bearing directly down on Jamaica.
