Oh sweet Jamaica... Land we love ...

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

I sit in awe and holy fear of the Mighty One... there are the natural factors in all of this but there is also the reality of a very real God. We are but mere mortals. Selah 🙏🏾

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

Pray.

@AkuaWalters No tolerance for this level of ignorance.

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

Then there is this recklessness... all pickney out deh!

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

In the top 10 things pon di aftermath list is keep Jamaica clean and draw drung pon di litterers. No man... mi shame an' nuh mi 😑

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

Humour is a HEALTHY coping mechanism. We are simply managing the heightened levels of anxiety caused by fear and uncertainty. Many fear that the worst lies ahead but we intend to face that reality head-on. #Jamaica is strong!

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

Adversity often highlights our best qualities. Most Jamaicans understand the implications of #HurricaneMelissa because we are listening to credible sources of information. Do not interpret our use of humour as minimization of the current situation.

@FaBlake31 Nuh watch nuh face... By God's grace we will rise 🙏🏾

@vidokti Good. Ty.

@MatthewCappucci You became complicit when you endorsed that kind of messaging. "Wi nuh tek disrespec' from nuh baddi" (translation: We do allow anyone to disrespect us). I hope this gives you a clear idea of why you have had your own historic moment in Jamaican X.

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

@MatthewCappucci what we know to be true about ourselves.

Additionally, your support of metereologists who were outright condescending and disrespectful has placed you squarely in the black book. You became complicit when you endorsed that kind of messaging.

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

@MatthewCappucci which we know can "fly" and the houses can "flood out" or even "wash weh". But when someone misrepresents us, it sends a message that you haven't taken the time to understand us and in this case understand the infrastructure here. We are brutal in our defense of who we are

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

@MatthewCappucci (translation: I was born, raised and still live in Jamaica), be sensitive to our culture.

Jamaicans take pride in their block and steel homes. We scarcely build our main structures with wood. Some of us have zinc and timber roofs;

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

Came back on social media just because of #Melissa... I am learning quite a bit about hurricanes and about us as Jamaicans. Why is #Melissa trying to beat the mathematical limits of how strong a hurricane can be rn? Now is not the time to prove herself.

[Backpirch Weather @BackpirchCrew]

BREAKING: Category 5 Hurricane Melissa’s sustained winds are now roaring at 175 MPH, and the air pressure in her searing eye has sunk to 906 MBAR.

The storm is starting to take the northern turn towards Jamaica, and if she intensifies any further, she will begin to approach the mathematical limits of how strong a storm can become in this part of the world.

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

@vidokti Ignore the typo

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

@vidokti Let me ask quickly.. does "total structural failure" includes block and steel walls?

[Jubilee Brown-Service @JubileeService1]

@JohnMoralesTV Wow... committed. Thank you to those men and women! From Jamaica 🙏🏾🇯🇲
