Rewording as requested:
Good news all around for JAMAICA. Sucks out loud for Haiti - again! Prayers sent to that beleagured country and hoping that maybe THIS time funds allocated to help might actually get there.
In Negril right now...as the storm passes Jamaica - cloudy but not much rain or wind. Very little if any surge.
The "warning" issued for a Hurricane has now been downgraded to a Tropical Storm. In short, for Jamaica - Hurricane Matthew is officially a "non-event".
I'm super proud of my friends on the ground for calmly and focused preparation for the worst. I'm super relieved for them that this will not be the shit show it seemed it might be a week ago.
The flooding in Kingston is due to all the garbage clogging up the drains there. What's annoying about this is they had similar flooding a week or two ago, assessed that this was the problem yet did nothing about it. Very frustrating.
