😭 God help them. God help us all. This is our future, folks. Petrifiying. 😭
MELISSA 185 MPH - This is a worst case scenario for Jamaica. Melissa is peaking in strength as it makes landfall in Jamaica. Winds have increased to 180 MPH. The pressure is down to 892 mb which makes Melissa the 3rd strongest storm of all-time in the Atlantic Basin. Melissa will rival the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane (892mb) for the strongest storm to ever make landfall in the Atlantic Basin. Melissa is the equivalent of a 20 mile wide EF-4 tornado that’s about to strike Jamaica. Words can’t even describe the catastrophic damage that’s about to occur in Jamaica. The core of destructive winds will cause complete structural failure to even the strongest of buildings. Winds in the mountains will exceed 200 mph. Trees will be completely deforested and debarked. Infrastructure exposed to the winds will be completely destroyed. This means long-duration power outages and communications failure. Heavy flooding rain and mudslides will wash away roads, isolating communities for long periods of time. On the coast, life-threatening storm surge will cause additional destruction. If you’re on the island of Jamaica, you need to be in the strongest concrete bunker on high ground you can find to ride this thing out. I fear the aftermath is going to be the worst part. Jamaica is going to need all the humanitarian help they can get after this is over with. Keep our friends in Jamaica in your prayer. Their lives and communities will be changed forever. The only thing we can do is help them after Melissa is gone.
