Kingston will suffer, north shore will suffer more because of the buildings. Negril and Mobay, God only knows.

Never been there but I understand what was a decent destination fifty years ago is less desirable than the DR now.

Melissa came ashore further west than originally forecast... that will make things worse for Cuba downstream since (a) there’s less land to cross over, and (b) that land is lower in altitude (roughly up to 1000 ft. vs. double that had she been 20-30 miles further east).

Still gonna be very dangerous when it makes its second landfall late tonight.

They are set up fairly well there with entirely concrete houses (yes, the roof too), but we were kinda hoping it might wipe Haiti clean. I hope there are lots of pictures of Haiti from yesterday we can compare to the what they will blame on Melissa tomorrow.

I feel sorry for Jamaica but am glad it’s not going to hit the United States.

Keep those fingers crossed -- this thing keeps trying to Go West. It could end up dinging Florida if it keeps that act up.
