Melissa coming ashore in St Elizabeth now

[malaise]

Black River, Treasurre Beach, Santa Cruz - the parish of St Elizabeth is about to be obliterated - and then it will cut across the island and exit in St James or St Ann.

[bluestarone]

1. TY. Surprised you have internet connection.

Be safe!!

[malaise]

4. So far the fewest utility disruptions are

In Kingston and St Andrew

[surfered]

44. At least Kingston and you were spared. Sad for Montego Bay, Mandeville Negril.

[allegorical oracle]

13. Amazing. Lose mine in a thunderstorm. Stay safe. ((hugs))

[malaise]

26. LOl

Sometimes es we lose it during sunshine😀

[surfered]

46. Same here and electricity

[Anxy]

18. Trump should send $20 billion to Jamaica

As there will be likely lots of damage. This would be justified, unlike the case of Argentina.

[BlueMTexpat]

19. He only sends

billions to sycophantic and psychotic fascists!

[barbtries]

56. or countries with resources he wants.

my guess is there will be no USAID (deliberate spelling) for a small island nation in the Caribbean. I'm happy to be wrong about this.

[surfered]

47. Exactly!

[allegorical oracle]

51. That would take empathy. He's missing that gene. Unless you pay him. nt

[Emile]

77. Excellent suggestion, welcome to du.

[MontanaMama]

37. Melissa has officially made landfall at Montego Bay.

This is a doozy of a storm. Stay safe Malaise! I am hearing she will be raising cain there for the next few hours.

[malaise]

45. Not Mobay

New Hope eastern Westmoreland and western St Elizabeth.
Will probably exit Mobay - slicing across the island South to North - Mobay is North coast.
