I know this is not that spoken here, but Jamaica is about to receive a monster. Cuba, Haiti and the Bahamas will suffer too. Hurricane Melissa has winds of 175mph. Something like Katrina or worse can happen. I just want us to pray for the brothers and sisters there and for everyone in general. May Jehovah have mercy of those countries, especially of Jamaica. I think it would be a good idea to pray for them. I'm a weather enthusiast. It's something I truly enjoy, and believe me, this is an incredible beast, in some way, something that has never been seen before, neither the island had received an impact like that. The NHC said the following:

Key Messages:

1. Jamaica: Remain in your safe shelter. Catastrophic flash flooding
and numerous landslides are expected through Tuesday. The eyewall’s
destructive winds may cause total structural failure, particularly
in higher elevations, leading to widespread infrastructural damage,
prolonged power and communication outages, and isolated communities.
Along the southern coast, life-threatening storm surge and damaging
waves are anticipated through Tuesday. Failure to take immediate
action may result in serious injury or significant loss of life.

2. Haiti and the Dominican Republic: Catastrophic flash flooding
and landslides are expected across southwestern Haiti and southern
portions of the Dominican Republic through midweek. In Haiti,
extensive infrastructural damage and isolation of communities is
likely. Tropical storm conditions are expected late Tuesday and
Wednesday.

3. Eastern Cuba: Heavy rainfall with life-threatening flash
flooding and landslides is expected to begin shortly.
Life-threatening storm surge and damaging winds are expected late
Tuesday and Tuesday night. Preparations should be rushed to
completion.

4. Southeast and Central Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos: Hurricane
conditions, life-threatening storm surge, and heavy rainfall are
expected across portions of the southeast and central Bahamas on
Wednesday. Residents should follow advice given by local officials
and be sure to have preparations complete by Tuesday night.
Tropical storm conditions, heavy rains, and a significant storm
surge is expected in the Turks and Caicos Islands on Wednesday.


So, let us pray please. Thank you. I don't live there, but I'm worried about them.

I’ve been following this all morning on the weather channel. The hurricane is gaining strength as it makes landfall. They are anticipating 200 mph with 13 feet waves. This intensity has never before been seen. Nothing can sustain that kind of power. Absolutely pray for Jamaica.

20 years ago I went to Jamaica on a cruise ship. The cruise lines need to send their ships into Jamaica so those who survive and loose everything can have a bed with power and water.

Back 77 while navigating the island of Bermuda hurricane Clara wiped off two Sea King helicopters from our carrier deck which both happened to have full crews aboard. I happened to be duty life boat radio operator and in those days of no mobiles the radio strapped to my back was a 98 pound lead lined anchor! I said no way! The waves were covering our deck. So the skipper said let down my private launch which immediately was smashed into the hull and turned to matchwood! The recovery mission was aborted. Looking at Melisa I remembered Clara and shivered!

Is that an aeroplane next to a hurricane? This video seems very "off" you know, it's just not ringing true. 🤔 Mind you, I've only experienced being in a hurricane once, in the middle of the night, back in 1987, no-one could go anywhere the next day, the streets were full of huge trees, greenhouses, sheds, fishing boats, you name it, and the wind was still so strong that I couldn't open my living room door 🤯

That top video may have been AI. It looks like it was deleted from the feed. But hurricane tracker planes routinely fly into the eye of hurricanes to collect data.

I experienced a hurricane once. Nothing like Mick's experience, thankfully. Back in 1983, I had just moved to Houston and gotten married to a pretty little Mexican gal when Hurricane Alicia paid a visit. Tore up a lot of stuff, even 50 miles in from the Gulf. I remember, like an idiot, I had to go outside and try to stand up in a 110 MPH wind. We were without power for a month in the stifling heat and humidity. And my wife was going to Pioneer School. All the hotels and motels were booked, so we ended up staying in a rundown motel for hookers and junkies. At least we had air conditioning. I had a tree business then. Worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for a month until I couldn't work anymore. Crazy time that was. I made some serious cash, though. I guess you could say it was a windfall. ;)
 
250 mph 😳

Yeah, it did have that "nasa" look about it!! 😂 It's surprising how many of us have experienced a hurricane 🫣 I'd been studying the Bible for about a year and was absolutely convinced Armageddon was happening! Never slept a wink! T'was very scary! Well done on your windfall 😅 Did you do tree felling until you retired Robert?

What a demonstration of the power of nature. No one actually knows how the laws of nature are controlled. They extend over the entire universe and even time is included within that control. Think of when Jehovah “made” the sun stand still. It is essentially how these various laws act together that provides what we see as stability and continuance within nature. Should one of these laws shift in its application, then there would be a domino effect amongst the others in compensation. It really is a picture of physics held in balance by our creator. Makes sense - He is the law maker and originator of this system.

It also gives a small insight into how these various laws coming conflagration can be stopped. Disarming nuclear weaponry even in flight is as simple as tweaking these laws, just as Jehovah did by isolating these laws in application to the sun all those years ago - also fir the sake of an outcome of war. Jehovah playing Celestial snooker with a planet no less. It’s very faith strengthening to observe these laws from their genesis - to explore the hand of Jehovah from the spiders web upwards.

What amazes me is how people can look at the obvious intelligence exhibited in the creation such as how the sun rises and sets each day with the precision of an atomic clock and how our earth, through the suns gravitational pull and the earths orbital speed, has remained at the exact distance from the sun for millennia while orbiting the sun and conclude that this marvel of creation and physics was luck or happenstance.
Any minute variation between those two forces would mean the difference of earth earth getting pulled into the sun burning us alive or getting flung into the blackness of space freezing us to death.

As I understand it, they fly in above the clouds and wind, and that's how they are able to "fly into" a hurricane.

I grew up on the coast of NC, and I have been through numerous hurricanes. The worse were actually a pair in the 90's. I lived two blocks from the ocean at the time, and my parents lived on the mainland, still close to the sound there, but much better than the barrier Islands. The first one we could hear trees snapping all night, and we had a LOT of tall, well over 100 ft. pine trees all over their neighborhood. The next morning there were down tress everywhere, fortunately many of our neighbors were already at work cutting paths through the roadways in their neighborhood. There was a giant pine tree that missed my truck by about 2 or 3 feet. The very next month another cat 4 hurricane was heading right for us again, this one was forecast to make landfall further south from us, so I was planning on staying at my place. It was forecast to make landfall sometime at night, and the morning of that day, I woke up to howling wind already blowing against my ocean facing windows. The place I lived in had two large 10 foot sliding glass doors that faced the ocean. At they were HOWLING with them boarded up! I said to myself, "there aint no way I'm staying here alone." So I stayed with my parents again. And once again it wreaked some pretty good havoc. The funny thing though was it didn't down nearly as many trees. The first one had knocked down most of the ones that were going to fall.

And ironically, my power on the beach was back on within two days, and my parents power was off for over a week. They came to my house to shower at one point. No hot water without power!

About a month later I went down south to go surfing at one of those beach towns where it had made landfall and the houses on the ocean were all devastated. The houses were all built on stilts, but it did little good. We were able to go and look into one of the houses from underneath. It was missing the bottom part of the stairs and the door, and you could see up and inside the house. You could see the "water line" up into the house on the sheet rock, well up into the stair well. You could park under these houses so it must have been well over a 10 foot storm surge, but probably closer to 15 foot. And that was just one of the houses that was standing. Many of them were wiped out. These were million dollar houses on the ocean, in the 90's! Needless to say, as much as I love the ocean, I would never own a house in this system on the Ocean even if I could! Fortunately, it's not something I have to worry about, no chance I'll ever own a million dollar house, maybe with inflation the house I live in will be one day, but I'd be dead before that! LOL!

There's me worrying about a broken sprinkler system and poor Jamaica is in the sea!

It’s “panic” stations in England if the wind reaches 40/50mph. All the news reporters go out to stand in the rain by the coast with huge waves of one or two feet slopping on the shore and the odd newspaper flying by.

Haha! They do Barney, they really do!! And they walk like they're really having to push against the wind, while in the background, people are walking fine 😂

We know all too well how dishonest the media is when you live on the east coast when they report on weather. There's video of some news team, reporting on a "flood" and someone else was recording, and the reporter was standing in a retention pond! In another video the reporter struggles with the wind, and some bystander walks by casually in the background with no effort!
