Map of Jamaica showing percentage of population living in poverty in 2012, which is minimal near the coasts (a few %) and maximized in the hilly interior (~40%). There isn’t even a major highway running that far west. Map source: https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/236781584080916414

Echoing colleagues: Think before you (re)post. #Melissa is about to impact a relatively poor part of Jamaica. I doubt we will know the true extent of the devastation for days or weeks.

Information vacuums fill with disinformation. Expect a lot of “breaking wind” on SM.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

In true Jamaican style and fashion, released in September 1988, "Wild Gilbert" by Lloyd Lovindeer humorously describes the experiences of Jamaica during 1988's Hurricane Gilbert.

Hold tight Jamaica, you are strong and blessed. 🇯🇲

This is the mark of an overheated earth, and the damage it causes will be terrifying. Please be prepared to help those providing aid

BREAKING: The Jamaica government issued a mandatory evacuation order for specified vulnerable communities, effective immediately, amid major Hurricane Melissa:
