@sgtdjones

so many persons lost their lives in a Caribbean country due to the storm of the century....and you only focus on personally attacking a poster.

You must be a real Jan crow.

The entire county of Cornwall and almost half of Middlesex has been totally devastated. Sea side towns in St. Elizabeth and Westmoreland simply do not exist.

Many persons are still missing and decomposed bodies are being found in rivers. This is a serious disaster we dealing with in Jamaica.

@Trex

Yeah and not enough news out here in the US due to our so called administration....

Hope that Jamaica makes a full recovery. The loss of life is sad.

@VIX

By the way rain pelt with heavy wind in Hanover last night - another home was destroyed and land slides led to serious road blocks.

Catastrophe is kind.

@Trex

ignore that moron please

@Trex

I've been keeping up via TVJ, CVM. Gleaner and Fox Weather (on Youtube), some good vloggers there too.it is really bad!!

Heartbreaking

The usual posse shows up....

It's incredible how many people thought poorly of my response.

My goal was to use a single thread, hoping to illustrate the needs of the Jamaican people.

Sending copies of such a thread to the diaspora could result in responses to Jamaicans' needs.

In North America, not much attention is paid to the hurricane and its devastation; my family has personally donated.

She was the object of my insult and has been repeatedly called out as the most racist person on this board.

When I called out a T&T administration that had allowed over 5,000 mostly African youths, including children murdered in their homes, she said that I detested him because he was African. Responding to my comment showed her weakness.

But carry on.

@sgtdjones

When in a hole stop digging.

a. A thread reporting tragic deaths is no.ppace nor opportunity to hurl unrelated "insults."

b.That it isn't covered in The US is untrue.All major charities, US-JA organizations and Alumni are actively donating, shipping and volunteering.

c. Keep your race-baited thoughts to yourself.

d. Quit before falling further behind.

e. Silence/not posting can be golden

Ant(-)man, you're too dunce to realise that you can agree with someone on one issue and disagree on 100 others. Did one of those issues hurt your feelings? Stop carry feelings.

@Larr Pullo

Larr, it is much worse than most people know. It is the greatest disaster Jamaica has had .There was no refuge for man or animals ,birds and bees have been decimated. Bees are important and crucial for

agriculture and the bread basket Parish of St. Elizabeth has suffered the most.

Recovery will take years to regain normality and when the added destruction of buildings,infrastructure

is added as homelessness will be major problem.

The aftermath is already being highlighted as a major task that even developed and advanced countries

will find hard to address.

My concern is that health issues will become a major problem. when one reads of over a million animals

being lost and certain to pollute streams rivers and water sources including the all important underground

water bed,aquifer which is the source of not only plant growth but domestic water.

I have become so numb to the realities that I hardly post on the event anymore as one's mental health could be affected negatively,much less those who are going though the traumatic experience.

To top it all, the present administration does not appear to be quite up to the task in crucial areas with better mobilisation of resources to meet the challenges.

One must hope that another storm of even lesser force will not impact the Island in the next year or two

as it won't take much to derail what recovery that is being effected..

I said at the outset when this Melissa was tarrying slowly to the Island that Jamaica will never be the same

again. Unfortunately at this juncture I am being proven right.

The worse has not been been reached or avoided ,yet.

I mourn for the Land of my Birth.

@hubert

A very accurate description

@Chrissy

ignore that moron please

This!

How come the folks on the East side of JA didn't use the fishing boats etc. to get to Black River and other locations with supplies quickly? Figured almost all roads had to be out once the Melissa move off the Island. Didn't see much of that while looking at videos.

@seaegg99

bro some communities could not be reached - sea water, river water, downed trees, destroyed homes and businesses, sand, silt, rocks.

unbelievable

@hubert

I hear leaders predicting 10 -15 years for full recovery, but that's a lazy outlook!

Effective management, strategic alliances, and proper coordination can help the country recover fully within two years.

The Chinese work ethic tells me we can!
