Melissa landfall [View all]
The latest landfall location is now about 70 miles west of Kingston, which would seem better than being ground zero.
We don’t have a flooding problem where we live but our experience with hurricanes is it is better to be farther away from the landfall as wind damage and storm surge is lessened.
I hate the expression “thoughts and prayers,” but that’s all I have to offer right now, except for my promise to contribute to a relief fund or Red Cross.
