I listened to so many inspiring tales of survival in Crawford #Jamaica today. The common threat: everyday people doing their best in an insane situation: the core of Cat-5 #Hurricane #MELISSA.

* Keith ("Benji") Carey survived the storm surge in a tiny cement building on the waterfront, basically at sea level (!!!) in Gallon Beach. He did it by floating on a piece of Styrofoam and clutching the doorframe as waves crashed into the room. At the height of the storm, he could touch the ceiling. (He will evacuate as advised next time.)

* Desrine Dellop, who survived the storm surge with Benji, gave me a tour of her devastated Gallon Beach neighborhood. Here she is in front of her now roofless house. I was inspired by her calm vibe, despite what she's just been through.

* When Trishanna Givens' apartment blew apart from the force of the wind, she rushed around the building to seek shelter in the lounge in the front. As she put the key in the lock, the wind threw her with such force that the key broke off and she was scraped and bruised all over her body. She rode out the height of the storm curled in a ball against the downwind wide of the building, under a piece of construction material.

* Sylvester & Victolyn Atherton own the High Way Restaurant across the street from my hotel. When the roof tore off, they sought shelter under a concrete table. Fortunately, they got through it uninjured.

Thank you all for these tales of strength and survival! 👊

He killed 2 teens & an OPP officer

That alone, should be life in prison

He got released

Then strangled & killed a 70 yr old

He recently got released

He broke his bail conditions within 24 hrs

FYI: Liberals voted against the 3 strike rule

Why are killers being released?

NEW: 90-year-old veteran who was forced to pawn jewelry to take care of his wife with dementia, gets $300,000 raised for him after his story went viral.

W.

A GoFundMe was started by Jenelle Marie after the veteran, 'Donald,' came into her shop to pawn jewelry after he fell "behind terribly on all of his bills."

The video below went viral on TT which showed Marie giving him an envelope with $1300 in it.

Marie then launched a GoFundMe, raising over $300,000 which will help Donald pay off debt he accrued while taking care of his wife.

"He is the sweetest old man you could ever meet and loves his wife dearly. He takes care of her around the clock and his landlord is raising their rent and he is falling behind terribly with all of his bills," the GoFundMe said.

Can’t fathom being at this race and witnessing this man gasping for air & his body going missing

How in the world did nobody working the CrossFit Games not see this man drowning this close to the finish line???

What a fuckin horrific moment

A Toronto couple's mischievous cat started a small fire on Friday by knocking a candle into a takeout bag. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and it was all caught on video.

Right now what I want to do is remember all the love and laughter I had with tWitch. He brought so much joy to my life. I know he brought joy to yours too. I’m going to be sharing some of my favorite moments with him. If you want to you can also share yours. #ILovetWitch

It is with a heavy heart we confirm the deaths of Constable Matthew Arnold and Constable Rachel McCrow.

Their lives were cut tragically short in the line of duty at Wieambilla yesterday.

With Honour They Served.

[Scot Davidson @ScotDavidsonMP]

Constables Devon Northrup and Morgan Russell were heroes.

They dedicated themselves to serving and protecting the communities of @TownofBWG and @townofinnisfil with courage and duty.

May they rest in peace, and may we never forget their bravery and sacrifice. @SouthSimcoePS

@Wike_Mhite It's a diabetes clinic that's ASSOCIATED to a hospital but not IN the hospital so they've decided to enforce the hospital rules. What a jokeeeeeee
