Last year, I experienced Cat 1 Hurricane #Beryl making landfall in Houston. It was both terrifying and fascinating—an intense reminder of nature’s power and how small we can feel in its presence. I can’t imagine what the people of Jamaica and other countries in #Melissa’s path are going through.

#Melissa is undergoing explosive intensification — winds have surged 50 kt in 24 hours, including 35 kt in the last 12!
Jamaica faces a potentially catastrophic impact as the storm nears. And it’s not just the wind — the 4-day rainfall forecast is astronomical, with 30+ inches expected.
