Which catastrophe will be worst for the Caribbean

[malaise]

Melissa or Donvict?
The optics this week - the largest warship and slaughter of our people versus a major catastrophic hurricane will speak volumes.
Hurricane or war?
That is all

[BigMin28]

1. Prayers

To all.

[cachukis]

2. Beyond enough.

[2naSalit]

3. I hope you are in a safe place!

I am terrified for everyone in that area but especially you because you're DUfamily!

Please check in when you can and stay safe - first priority!

[pfitz59]

4. The head MAGAT will celebrate all the death and destruction.

just poor brown-skinned folk

[KS Toronado]

11. Yes he will, let's hope there is none.

[kozar]

5. Good to see you,

Woke up thinking of you all in that area.

Koz

[malaise]

16. Even better to see you😀

[Scrivener7]

6. How are you doing, malaise?

[malaise]

25. Calm as ever

I was once a Girl Scout - be prepared.
Just took down all the drapes and curtains just in case.
This should be over in about 60 hours.
At my age, this will probably be my last experience with a major one - they are rare here.

[Lochloosa]

27. Stay dry malaise. We are all thinking of you.

[Scrivener7]

30. That's wonderful. You're in my heart. Keep us posted as much as you can.

[ananda]

7. I guess we'll have to add up the death toll and compare.

Who wins... Hurricane Donald or Melissa?

I just wish something would strike Florida and put
us all out of our misery.

[PJMcK]

8. From the National Hurricane Center

Jamaica: Seek shelter now. Damaging winds and heavy rainfall today and on Monday will cause catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding and numerous landslides before the strongest winds arrive Monday night and Tuesday morning. Extensive infrastructural damage, long-duration power and communication outages, and isolation of communities are expected. Life-threatening storm surge is
likely along portions of the southern coast Monday night and
Tuesday morning.

Be safe, malaise! You and your loved ones are in our thoughts!

[nitpicked]

10. The old saying "if it bleeds, it leads" may apply.

Absent anything surprising, Melissa will probably take the headlines first.

But the week after this? Who knows?

[surfered]

12. I've lost count of the number of times we've evacuated in the face of a strong hurricane.

Not knowing if our home would be destroyed. It’s a horrible thing. I wish you all well.and pray for the best🙏

[Prairie_Seagull]

13. Mrs Seagull asks frequently about some of our posters

and what they have posted today. Lately it has been Orrex but it has been others over the years.

She as I, have been worried about our Malaise. You have people out there whom you are unaware of but they care for you anyway.

Our thoughts are with you malaise.

[malaise]

26. Thanks

😀

[spanone]

14. I'll go with the convicted felon.

[Hope22]

15. Malaise my heart is with all of you.

In the olden days a ship in the area would mean extra medical care for those hit by disaster. Sending thoughts for the delivery of medical supplies. I wouldn’t let too many of them on shore but take the goods if they offer! What a crazy world we live in. Love hugs and more love to you and yours. 💗💗💗🙏🏼

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Here is the irony

And it looks like Guantanamo Bay is right in the cross hairs too.

They have to essentially steer clear of the Caribbean or there may be a Captain Queeg thing going on.

Hoping for the best for you and your island!

[malaise]

24. Nailed it

18. Love you all

[barbtries]

19. the murdering of people

for no valid or even verified reason by my - krasnov's government and the terrorization of brown and Black people are the two things in the moment that emotionally strike me so hard I can hardly express the rage and anguish these acts awaken in me.

I think that's the worse thing you're facing Malaise, because the hurricane is Nature (although nowadays it's also worsened by the bad acts of humans), and if it is going to happen, it is. It's easier in my opinion to deal with disaster in that context because it's not directed at you, it's not malevolent, it is simply Nature.

This other shit? It does not have to be this way.

In a weird way it's like the difference between Bekah dying in an accident as opposed to her being run over by an impaired driver who didn't even leave a skid mark as she left her side of the road, dragged her body down the street, and sped away as her victim bled out in the street.

(hug) Be as prepared as you can. I'll be looking for you on these pages, and sending all my positive energy your way for you and everyone in Jamaica and all the affected areas to be safe. and Stay safe

[niyad]

20. Holding all of you who are in harm's way in love and light. Be safe,

dear friend.

[littlemissmartypants]

22. ❤️🙏

[littlemissmartypants]

21. I don't want to think about that, malaise. Monday is the day Jamaica needs to live through first. ...

The outer bands are just starting to hit in Kingston. It's moving really slow. Flooding is going to be catastrophic. Mudslides devastated WNC after the rain.

The wind is going to blow the vegetation into what's going to look like a huge tossed salad.

If the island is destroyed it will already be close enough to going through a war.

Why add insult to injury? But if anyone can get that done isn't it the rotten mango?

[malaise]

28. Tuesday

😀

[littlemissmartypants]

29. Neither looks good. 🤓

Tuesday Melissa outlook.

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

[OLDMDDEM]

23. Please stay safe.

[MiHale]

31. Maybe, just hoping, the hurricane takes out the warships.

[waterwatcher123]

32. Wishing You the Best in Dealing with these Twin Catastrophes.

Hope you can stay away from the coast and small streams that flow down to the sea from the mountains.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

33. Melissa will be far worse, but ...

... but Trump and his staff will be trying like hell to catch and surpass it.

[Raven]

34. You have my best thoughts.

[applegrove]

35. Hurricane category 5 that sits over jamaica for 2 days.

Vibes.

[moniss]

36. One thing we can be sure of is that media will

by and large avoid any opportunity to go in depth about the sordid history of the US in Central America, South America and the Caribbean and our use of our military and spy agencies for constantly meddling in the affairs of other countries, originating and supporting coups, support of dictators, suppression of land reform efforts, military attacks, support of guerilla groups like the Contras, support and training for committing human rights abuses including torture and the list goes on.

[electric_blue68]

37. Hoping for you & yours safery. And as much as posdible for the whole island.

Go faster, and away H Melissa from Jamaica!

[Uncle Joe]

38. That's a toughie malaise, Melissa blows but *rump sucks.

I'm glad to see that you're posting.

[samplegirl]

39. Hope you will

be safe. Prayers
