@iCyclone The people were worried. I was the first couple of times watching you but after years of seeing you do this job, my faith in your safety skills is vast. Well done again! And big ups for this one. Can't wait to see the data start coming out.

Man. #Hurricane #MELISSA. Incredible power. Perhaps the mightiest hurricane of the 83 I've witnessed. My location (Crawford, a tiny beach town in St. Elizabeth Parish #Jamaica) took the full force of the inner right eyewall and may have seen the peak winds in this historic, record-smashing hurricane. First pic: as it started to get scary. Bone-rattling gusts were making roofs explode into clouds of lethal confetti. The grand palm tree out front was starting to bend obscenely—in a way I found unnatural. Second pic: after we bolted the door shut because it was getting too dangerous even to watch the storm. (I'd randomly ended up in the hotel's kitchen with a local family.) The hurricane's inner eyewall was a screaming white void. All I could see through the cracks in the shutters was the color white—accompanied by a constant, ear-splitting scream that actually caused pain. (Notice the woman in the pic holding her ears.) The scream occasionally got higher and angrier, and those extra-screechy screams made my eardrums pulse. Meanwhile, water was forcing in through every crack—under the floor and between the window slats. I remember shuddering at the thought of what was happening to the town—what this screaming white void was doing to people, homes, communities. My fears were well-founded. The impact in this part of coastal St. Elizabeth Parish is catastrophic. Wooden structures were completely mowed down and in some cases swept from their foundations. Some concrete structures collapsed. The well-built ones—like my hotel—survived, but even they had major roof, window, and door damage. The landscape has been stripped bare—the trees just sticks. The roads are blocked with rubble and utility poles. Nearby Black River—a unique old historical town right on the water—was smashed beyond recognition: historical sites destroyed, main streets filled with rubble, the town market twisted like a pretzel, even the regional hospital destroyed. It's a good thing I wasn't in my hotel room during the storm because one of the windows blew out, showering the bed with glass and wood. The hotel lost most of its roof, and several third-story rooms were smashed open. But in the lower flooors, those grand old concrete walls protected us. And so far I'm aware of only two deaths in Crawford—a fellow who had a heart attack at the school next door (his body was still in his car and unclaimed the next morning, a sad and disturbing sight), and a woman who drowned in the storm surge in Gallon Beach. While walking down the devastated streets of Black River, I ran into the Jamaican Member of Parliament for this region, @floydgreenja. He's a great dude and I appreciate that he already has a gameplan for turning this catastrophe into an opportunity—to build this region back better. And I vowed on the spot that I'm going to make it my mission to spread awareness of this catastrophe and get that aid flowing in. I'll be talking about MELISSA a lot over the coming months—because it is both a fascinating meteorological event and a human disaster that demands an international response. (And I swear an epic video is coming out of this.)

@iCyclone Guys it's always radio silence after a massive hurricane. It's very hard to get a signal when everything is smashed up. He will let us know in a day or two what happened. For now we wait.

10:25 am. Frightening power. Whiteout. Roofs teaing off. Gusts like bombs going off. Painful ears. Praise the lord for solid concrete. 962 mb

@abcnews No one is falling for it anymore. We see the truth and so can you!

@JakeBeer11 @abcnews Libs are no better at this stage. It's all one entity now. We need to get rid of 2 party preferred. It rigs it in their favour.

@SpankieV I think people missed the part where your political views are allowed to be private and not have to be shared with anyone unless you want to. I'm friends with both sides and I always will be. Politics won't get in the way of my valued friendships. Ever.

1. Your assumption that my post is about politics is uninformed 2. Not responding to you is not me “shutting my mind”. It is simply me, not responding to you 3. You are disrespectful and are not entitled to a conversation with me or anyone just because you demand it. That’s all

@cjfaison People are even sobbing, screaming and admitting themselves to psyche wards here in Australia. I'm so shocked that I can only just watch in horror at how people act. The disgusting things being said. It's a real eye opener honestly.

People are losing their minds on TikTok.

@PaigeChristieUK I mean, the truth hurts sometimes. It's a hard pill to swallow. To be so invested in it all and believe in someone who is embellishing for views isn't fun to admit.

youtu.be/GlSFBpDqrO4?si… @BigJetTVLIVE have you seen this? It happened in Perth Australia today.

@cjfaison Some advice from someone older, you can't take it with you when you die, that money you're making, so don't live your life for it. Live it for family and loved ones. Be present. Money isn't everything.

To the people who have supported me, stuck with me, saw my vision for the future and believed in me… THANK YOU. Since I bought this company roughly a month and a half ago, we have seen a big jump in sales, employees are making more money than ever, and we are rocketing into the biggest future the company has ever seen. I love this feeling and will do everything in my power to keep this going!

@xRYANxREESx People only have negative things to say when they feel threatened. The only threat is your success, and it's not a threat. Plenty to go around. Go give them something to REALLY talk about!!

It’s sad to hear other creators talk bad about us and try to make a bad name for us when not once have we said anything bad nor do we even have any means to talk bad on any other creator. We work very hard and never have a break mentally and physically so leave us alone please 😕

@HeliK78 @cjfaison I second Hell's comment!

@cjfaison 1 video a week cause even that seems hard to do when you have so much more going on. Honest answer! 😘

Honestly answer this. It'll greatly determine what's to come.

@SpankieV On a similar journey here but a few more years into it than you. I am 43 and I'm here to tell you, keep trying, keep pushing forward, vent, lean on your community. One day you'll suddenly realise, the power to overcome is deeply rooted in you and you'll always survive. Always.

TW: DV, medical trauma I was recently violently, physically as*ulted by a person who has ab*sed me before, while dealing with extended medical trauma that I haven’t been able to put to words publicly Keeping this private has destroyed me, so I’m sharing. Thank you for listening

@IgonorMathias @CNN Victim blaming. Obviously the cops haven't touched him despite the video evidence so coming forward in 2016 would have got her killed. He's not in jail so that would have been so dangerous to come forward when he obviously has never been formally charged despite the video....

A 2016 surveillance video obtained by CNN shows Sean "Diddy" Combs violently grab, shove, drag and kick his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura during an altercation in a hotel in California. cnn.it/3UJBgNP

@CNN This just goes to show that if you have money and influence, you can literally bash people on camera and get away with it. The cops and courts won't touch you in America if you have enough money to buy them....

@moesargi Man this takes the cake! The term Chronically Online comes to mind. They need to take their hands off their keyboard and go outside and take a deep breath. Stand in the grass and practice gratitude. Faith in humanity is dwindling!!

This is how i will always Reply to Idiots that think they can come to my Channel and just say what they want when they know nothing! Apparently having a Gender Reveal Party is Flaunting Money. Some balloons and and some food and most of the decor was done by my wife is flaunting money 🤦🏻‍♂️

@ShadiaSargi I'm the same. No other "milk" compares!

When your intolerance to milk is 98% out of 100 (I did a test) but you never stopped drinking/eating dairy 😂🤪 it’s too good to stop 🤦🏻‍♀️
