Videos Emerge Showing the Unfathomable Power of Hurricane Melissa – RedState

I wrote about my love for the country of Jamaica on Tuesday as Category 5 Hurricane Melissa bore down on the Caribbean island, and how the forecast for the level of destruction was absolutely catastrophic.

Unfortunately, many of these predictions quickly came true, and more and more videos are emerging showing the incredible power of the storm and the devastation it left behind. In this clip, the coastline bears an uncanny resemblance to the wreckage of Malibu and Pacific Palisades, California, following January’s devastating wildfires:

Fortunately, all of the extended family I mentioned survived without serious incident in Kingston, but there are fears that their waterlogged roof could collapse at any moment. Many roads have virtually disappeared and flooding is rampant. Although we have heard about them sporadically via WhatsApp, the internet is uncertain and communication and power lines of all types have been knocked out by the sustained winds gusting to 185 miles per hour.

Entire villages were covered in water and roads simply disappeared as the flooding continued (and continues):

Many countries, including the United States, have pledged to help with relief efforts while some communities remain isolated:

In Jamaica, officials and residents have begun clearing roads to reach dozens of isolated communities in the island’s southeast that were directly hit by one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes on record.

Stunned residents wandered around, some looking at their roofless homes and waterlogged belongings scattered around them.

“I don’t have a house now,” said Sylvester Guthrie, a resident of Lacovia in southern St. Elizabeth Parish, as he held his bicycle, the only valuable possession left after the storm.

Emergency relief flights were landing at Jamaica’s main international airport as crews distributed water, medicine and other basic supplies. Helicopters dropped food as they flew over communities where the storm flattened homes, destroyed roads and destroyed bridges, leaving them without assistance.

“The whole of Jamaica is truly broken because of what happened,” said Education Minister Dana Morris Dixon.

The storm has so far killed at least 50 people in the Caribbean, between Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.

Cuba is still assessing the damage, but many communities are without electricity, internet and telephone, and considerable damage is being reported.

Humans often seem to think that we are so advanced that we literally control the weather. Mother Nature has a way of reminding us that there are forces far more powerful than humanity at work in our world. Pray for all those living in the affected areas: it will undoubtedly take years in some places to fully recover.
