I give the government "nuff respect" for even trying. I am sure this was no easy task.Like Brian i am also a floridian and understand how anxious you become. I am praying for my family in Manchester-keep the faith. As Jamaicans this is will break our spirit. I cant imagine how hard it to coordinate a evacuation in Jamaica, especially in the rural areas.

Port Antonio, Kingston, Montego Bay. I pray for all of you in this perilous time. As a Floridian, I know the deal, the drill and the suspense and fear that can happen. Stand strong, stay prayerful and wise. God will see you through this one too, just like the others. I believe the will power of the Jamaican people will pull them through. To all my people, now is a time to reflect and realize we need each other, and all we worry about in life is often not what really matters. Let's unite for the clean up and care that will be needed afterwards. LOVE. I have many family and friends there now. Port Antonio, Kingston, Montego Bay. I pray for all of you in this perilous time.
