News stations ALWAYS make things sound worse than they are. Always. I have a friend in Jamaica, and it's NOT a Cat 5. It's bad, but not like Katrina bad.
God has a plan for y’all
The current JLP admin has not maintained the drains and gullies throughout the nation, they are highly corrupt, cruel and incompetent. I wonder what happens to insurance payment when you don't do the basics to mitigate risk.
To all the tourists who decided to stay. It moved west fyi. 😮
👏🏽
No storm can silence the prayers of a faithful people. Jamaica stands under God’s hand — strong, blessed, and covered in grace through every wind and wave.
These places so F up anyhow ok!
If you're in the Kingston area and you're where you can actually see the ocean, you're way too close. I have been through a category four hurricane in New Bern North Carolina. We lost many families here where we had to cut through the roofs of our homes to get to safety. Find shelters that are in the mountains and go there do not try to stay close to the ocean or you likely will die.
