Beryl - as predicted

[Rumlover]

Does the Jamaican government do a good job of notifying residents and instruct them to prepare? I’ve messaged with some friends there today. They knew it was coming but no one seemed to concerned. Responses ranged from we will know better tomorrow, to what can you do, to i have to trust that God will take care of me. When Gilbert was still fresh on their minds they did take storms more seriously. Young folks thought the February storm was one of the worst they had seen. I think they are in for a big surprise. We are keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe Rob!

No. The government is having a meeting today to decide if they should implement national disaster plans. For instance, in the Observer today:
