I've been covering natural hazards for over 3 years now, and last night, for the very first time in my life, I had to evacuate
A massive wildfire had reached the outskirts of my city.
One feeling outweighs all the others and it's neither fear nor anger...
It's helplessness.
Is it dangerous?
Here is a non-exhaustive list of much more dangerous jobs that people rarely think about:
- Road maintenance worker
- Roofer
- High-voltage power line technician
- Correctional officer
- Deep-sea fisherman
- Sewer worker
- Mountain rescue worker
I gathered the most striking footage of Nature’s fury from the second half of 2025.
A 5-minute visual reminder of the power that the Earth can unleash.

Imagine if today a natural event killed 1/2 million people.
Imagine if today a natural event created a country
No need to imagine both at once;
The tragedy already exists

Jamaica Residents:
This is a great share. This is the 100-year flood map for riverine flooding.
If you live in a flood plain highlighted in blue, I urge you to consider relocating elsewhere for the duration of #Melissa.
If you know anyone who lives in these areas, alert them.
Because we all know you will return one day, bearing another name.
Let us hope the lessons will have been learned by then.
🕯️ In memory of the 252 lives lost.
