**** 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Hurricane Melissa (185 mph): Jamaica Under a Considerable Threat | Cuba and Haiti Will Be Impacted, Too ****

I hope all the rich colonizers who own land and property in Jamaica are going to chip in to rebuild the island... Nah, I'm just kidding
 


Quick question. With all the tariff bullshit going on. Suppose someone from overseas was able to "get things to send" (clothes, foods, etc). How would that work with tarrifs? Would the sender have to send money to have those things released to the recipient on the the island? Pretty much buying the things twice?

Even though I believe the "things" that he wants people to send down is money. That money wont be able to buy that much "things" in the island anyhow with all the price increases and availability of items. Typical lose lose scenario.

Also, hasn't the Jamaican government halted trade with the US over said tarrifs? 47 isnt the forgiving type. How do they expect to get "things" from Farrin?!?! Maybe get things shipped through Cananda and England :dunno:

Not even being funny. I'm honestly trying to figure this out

Finally got word from the fam in Jamaica. While everyone is ok, our worst fears were confirmed. The homes for my uncles as well as my parents suffered significant damage. Roofs were blown off all of the houses and for my parents home, some of the windows were blown out as well. My brother is estimating it'll cost at least $100K to repair :sad:
 

Definitely needed and appreciated but somewhat unexpected...a little apprehensive about this one...I know Blackwater is heavily connected with El Salvador and Blackwater is now in Haiti...maybe I am reading too much into things...who am I to question aid to the needy while I am comparitively nice and safe in the States

Just didn't expect El Salvador to do so much
 
This is my grandfather's house outside New Market, Saint Elizabeth. About 25 minutes north of Black River. You can see the house is fine, but all the windows were blown in. We were finally able to get my elderly aunt out who rode out the storm inside the house. She said the power of the winds threw her about 20 feet across the den.

What I'm struck are all the trees surrounding the house cut down by the storm like a lawn mower going across grass.


Mango trees, breadfruit trees, avocado trees, plantain, etc etc all cut down like down.. just unbelievable

This is wild as thee fuck, especially when folks often try to push a narrative that Louisianans need to move. “Folks living along the coastal area, should really move. That place will be flooded, likely underwater in the next few years.”




But there might be more to this storm


Haiti have a ton of violence going on

Jamaica might actually be undergoing that secret land grab(That dude mention)

This a lot of people but that storm wasn’t a punk
