NBC News’ George Solis’ reports from #Kingston in #Jamaica where the storm is set to make landfall on Tuesday.












I hope ya'll offered rides to safety while ya'll were there reporting on their situation.
I was there for Gilbert 9/12/88….. thought I was going to die in that one …… very frightening.
And we're also expecting a strong typhoon in the next days to come here in the Philippines (according to Windy's forecast). I was a Haiyan victim/survivor, it's kind of traumatic. And the possibility of hitting us again is very high.
They need to evacuate because storm surges are unforgiving. I hope everyone in Jamaica will be safe.
I’ve read that over 881 shelters have been set up across the island and the Ministry of Transport has deployed 30 buses to help with evacuations in areas like Portmore, Spanish Town, Rockfort, and Montego Bay.
Not sure what is happening in other places but I’m also reading that residents report that shelters are locked or inaccessible and in certain communities, there are no official hurricane shelters, leaving them scared and unprotected
Maybe the reporter can get some further updates on that situation?
Be safe❤
Theyre not evacuating!?!
Jamaica is very poor and not ready for what is coming. 😢😢
Need a Cat. 10 to past through Trinidad, America and Venezuela.
Eerily peaceful out there…the calm before the storm
I hoping every bodys Safe
I hope that the ppl who are staying, don’t have kids with them. With that thought process, they should never have kids.
But its not even fully passing over the jamaica so why everyone freaking out? Only the outside will touch jamaica so it wont be that severe
Hard headed jamaicans
"Look at the palm trees" that's a coconut tree buddy 😂
Coconut Trees
i would die because i'd be building a sand bunker💀🤣👍👍
Hope you guys are aware of the massive flooding that will drown you if you don't listen to the warning ⚠️
Been praying for Jamaica💜🙏🫶

Human and last hour action should be stop ie do not believe you die believe you live
