I have a feeling that rain records are being broken here in Jamaica in the past

[malaise]

24 fours. I have never seen more sustained rain falling for this long or this heavy. Looks like it will come to an end in a few hours but this will be a major economic and societal disaster.
I expect massive destruction of vulnerable homes, massive land slides and homes sliding into gullies. There will be loss of life.

I cannot imagine what this is doing to Haiti as I type because we have way better infra structure.
I cannot imagine what would have happened if this had hurricane speed winds with all this rain.
Bravo to the folks who saw this coming a week ago.
Climate change is effin real.

1. Our local weather reports on this

Stay safe, Friend ☔️

[malaise]

3. I'm safe

But that ‘s not true for many folks here and in Haiti.

They had to rescue folks with helicopters last night.

2. Sometimes Mother Nature is scary.

Mother Nature on steroids is really scary.

Stay safe and dry.

5. Blessing to you and Jamaica, malaise

and dear lord, how much more can Haiti take?

[malaise]

6. Haiti can't handle another crisis

Geez - poor Haiti. Guantanamo Bay must also be a mess

[mcar]

7. SO and I have a small charity that gets donated medical supplies to

countries in need. Over the years, we've developed some solid contacts and gotten a lot of stuff into Haiti. Last year or so, nothing. We can get things into Venezuela easier. And there is next to nothing in the news about it.

ocean acidification
choral bleaching
storm intensification
permafrost melting
methane release
sea level rise
glacial retreat

14. Just seeing the devastation in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia

South Florida is also cleaning up after serious flooding. This is a global mess.
This system leaving the Caribbean will do some serious damage across the pond.

9. I saw the weather report for area yesterday

Watched that system as we Gulf state peeps do.
Very relieved to hear you are ok,

[malaise]

10. Great to see you posting sis

I paid attention and picked up stuff before 10.00am yesterday. Not moving before noon tomorrow.
What a lot of rain - PHEW,
Will watch the reports for the real damage tomorrow.

16. It is very unusual here

in Central Florida to experience this long of a rain event.
Typically we would be a month Into our dry season, receiving brief showers as cold fronts advance.

17. We normally get rain in October/November but never what

I experienced in the last 36 hours.
The sun is peeping out this morning but there is still some more to come. Should be over later today.
Britain and Europe are in for some serious flooding as this crosses the pond.
