  1. Trapped? She sounds Caribbean if not Jamaican.. So, the US govt had to rescue her and her family from her people? In other words, let them suffer – not us ..Our vacation was ruined. This lady does not care about the people left behind in misery and suffering … . Please top interviewing these delusional and ignorant people. The media would never allow white people to say they were trapped with the locals. It would trigger outrage …

  2. The island have 15 parish and its just 4 parish affected are 3 badly affected so stop say the island distroy and kingston didnt get a.bad impact,florida not safe to live when hurrican hit there its like sea devastating them behaving like florida is heaven,wait till a next hurricane come,and shes jamaican shes laughing yoi will soon get a hurricanw in florida

  3. It was weather control… MAN MADE! It's a land grab. They'll relocate the people or send in foreign aid to fix it up and get them so far in debt they can't pay it back. Watch what I tell you! It's THE SAME OLE PLAYBOOK!

  4. Jamaica's politicians are the worst of all egotistic assholes. They are so self centered living on lofty heights in mansions 18 and 20 bedrooms while caring only themselves, family members and friends. According to international financial institutions, there nine members of the current government who are multi-millionaires. Having that said, not even one of the them, to date, donated a single dollar to the held abate the sufferings being felt by the hurricane victims. All emergency facilities are void of emergency necessities, generators, tents, medial supplies and foods. The f****n seventh Day Adventist Church has some huge tents used to indoctrinate fools annually around the Island. Now that here is a national emergency, those tents would be extremely useful, where are they?
    FUCK politiciens and preachers!
