    God you are more mighty than any hurricane, please save Jamaica and the Cayman Islands from the wrath of Hurricane Beryl.
  • It might not be so bad. Here in barbados it dropped to the south.
  • @MoneyTeam507
    The meteorologist in the light blue is very pretty 🩡
  • The wind is picking up a lot of speed in Spanish town St Catherine. Spare us almighty God
  • @Be_Kind7683
    Thank you for keeping informed. Need to keep the west indies in prayer too.
  • He's on the wrong coast! Montego Bay is on the north coast and Beryl is passing to the south of Jamaica.
  • @yaadiegal89
    In Spanish town, St Catherine just on and off light rain. Slight breeze but seems like a regular rain day.

    Surf is up... Love how it just picked up quick...... Hanging out 😎....
  • You know, these big early storms are actually doing what all TS do. They pull heat out of the surface waters and lift it way up into the 30 thousand elevation of the atmosphere and that cools the heat very well. The TS action is like a giant Air Conditioner. I wonder if we have enough big early storms, if the effect will be to cool the surface ocean waters and possible decrease the severity of later in the season storms?
  • @muleface1066
    I'm sure it will get worse, but those waves are ankle biters. Having said that, I hope everyone will stay safe. BTW--when you're acknowledging that more people might be dead, don't say "get this." It's not a statistic we should be happy about or even amused by.

    He should be reporting from th3 South of the which will be most impacted. Parishes like St. Elizabeth, Mandeville...Kingston even. Monyego Bay is on the north coast of the island
