🚨Hurricane Melissa🚨

Strong worded key messages from the NHC.

🇯🇲 Jamaica

Do not venture out of your safe shelter. Catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding and numerous landslides are likely today through Tuesday.

Destructive winds, especially in the mountains, will begin by this evening, leading to extensive infrastructural damage, long-lasting power and communication outages, and isolated communities. .................

Melissa on final approach to Jamaica and on its way to Cat5 status( which it likely is now), our 3rd of the season. Pressure continues to drop and landfall is likely tomorrow morning. It's hard to wrap your mind around the humanitarian effort that will need to follow this, but there will be one from Jamaica, to southeastern Cuba, To Hispaniola, to parts of the southern Bahamas and Turks. Hard to believe Bermuda even needs to watch this thing by overnight Thursday.

Because the USA will be nowhere to be found. Recall the DOGE cut most of the groups that would respond to events like this, and the USA Will only send cash if your leader is a scam artists who loves drumpf. (See Argentina).

I did a search, am more or less assuming that her internet is gone by now. Does anyone know, are there any alternative ways to learn how she's doing?
