actually kingston got spared it was west part had worst of it

 

[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??

Entire communities in Jamaica demolished or isolated by direct hit from Hurricane Melissa: Officials

At first light on Wednesday, the coastal communities of southwestern Jamaica bore the devastation of being in the direct path of Hurricane Melissa.

The big cities got away from with disaster J excellent point

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
