Video from inland of Black River. I don't think that this is storm surge, I think that it's flash flooding from 30 inches of rain. If you were out in it, it would sweep you off your feet and probably kill you.

Starlink says...

"In response to Hurricane Melissa, the Starlink team has been working to provide vital connectivity to support relief and recovery efforts. Over 800 kits have been donated to local governments and humanitarian organizations, including over 600 in Jamaica, and free service has been enabled for customers in impacted areas.

During the last 24 hours, the Starlink team distributed kits to organizations that are working to restore connectivity in major hospitals, distributing food, water, sanitation supplies, basic household items, and children activity kits.

Direct to Cell capabilities were also activated via local partners, enabling mobile connectivity through apps and messaging for over 250,000 people in impacted areas.

The Starlink team will continue to support efforts on the ground and provide connectivity when it matters most."

The legacy media doesn't care if black people get harmed by anything other than white people.
