[MinnesotaFats]

thats too bad, Kingston could use a fresh start!

There’s still not a lot of information on this. Maybe it didn’t hit a populated area meaning the strong part.

Apparently not the only Kingston that could use a fresh start

Have you ever been to Cuba Genie?

I wonder if any BMR posters have been there.

Oh. I don't think I have plans to visit this Country, Tank.

I know I have a colleague rn from Cuba, but been staying here in CR for a long time now. Is it true what they're saying that everyone knows how to hold/shoot a gun in Cuba?

kingston has power?

I’m surprised a storm this strong didn’t completely wipe the island away

These images are brutal but not near as bad as I expected

Did the storm directly hit the island as expected or did I miss some news??

God loves Jamaica!

How the hell did only 7 people die in Jamaica?? After a 185 MPH storm hit, much more powerful than Katrina when she made landfall

It will take them years to rebuild

I volunteered in PR after Irma/Maria?? hit and we unloaded all the ships w supplies and food.

It all went to Old San Juan only. Rest of the pallets sat & spoiled.

Once the lights came back on in OSJ the Gvmt didn't give 2 ships about the rest of the island

I thought it was going to be worse, it’s definitely going to take them a while to rebuild and it’s going to hurt tourism especially cruises because they probably won’t stop there for a while
