True, but TPTB bowed to the race hucksters and consciously refused to try and improve the place when the opportunity was presented.

Thankfully we have a leader who won't import thousands of Jamaicans under the guise of "climate change disaster refugees".

Dropsonde measured 151 knot (173.8 mph) winds at surface in NE eyewall. I wonder if they officially go with 150 knots at next advisory.
Incredible storm.

Look at these dropsonde readings
210 kt at 907mb
Not a record though. Katrina had a reading of 234 kt
AF Recon plane just completed a center pass. New data is arriving now.
909.5mb extrap pressure. She's getting angry

Hurricane Melissa Discussion Number 25
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132025
1100 AM EDT Mon Oct 27 2025
Melissa has the classic strong hurricane appearance in satellite
imagery this morning, with a well-defined 10-nm wide eye embedded
in a central dense overcast with cloud tops colder than -80C. The
hurricane also has a large complex of outer banding over the
eastern semicircle and a circulation that covers most of the
Caribbean west of 70 degrees west longitude. Reports from NOAA and
Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate the central
pressure has fallen to near 908 mb, with both aircraft releasing
dropsondes in the northeastern eyewall that support an initial
intensity of 145 kt. The NOAA aircraft left the storm early after
experiencing severe turbulence in the southwestern eyewall.
The eye is wobbling around due to the slow motion, but the best
estimate of the initial motion is 270/3 kt. The mid-level ridge
north of Melissa is weakening as a deep-layer mid-latitude trough
moves eastward through the southeastern United States. This should
cause the hurricane to turn northward during the next 12 h or so at
a continued slow forward speed. After 24 h, Melissa should turn
northeastward with some increase in forward speed as the
mid-latitude westerly flow becomes the dominant steering
mechanism. This general motion should continue for the rest of the
forecast period. On the forecast track, the center of Melissa will
be near or over Jamaica late tonight or early Tuesday, cross
eastern Cuba Tuesday night or early Wednesday, and then move near
or over the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos on Wednesday. After
that, the cyclone could reach the vicinity of Bermuda on Thursday
night. The new forecast track has some minor adjustments from the
previous track and is a blend of the HFIP Corrected Consensus, the
Google DeepMind ensemble mean, and the other consensus models.
Some fluctuations in intensity are likely during the next 12-24 h
due to the possibility that Melissa will start an eyewall
replacement cycle. However, this is unlikely to weaken Melissa
significantly, and there is no practical difference in Melissa
making landfall in Jamaica at category 4 or 5 intensity, since both
categories produce catastrophic wind damage. After reaching Jamaica,
a combination of land interaction and increasing southwesterly shear
should cause some weakening, although Melissa is still forecast to
be a major hurricane when it reaches Cuba. Once over the Atlantic,
stronger shear should cause more substantial weakening, and Melissa
is expected to become extratropical by the end of the forecast
period. The new intensity forecast has minor adjustments from the
previous and follows the trend of the intensity consensus.

The only silver lining in all this is that she did not turn northerly when expected and continued much farther west sparing Kingston from the direct hit that was predicted.

Not a silver lining for the US media that wants to make money off reports on the devastation.

Don't worry, I'm sure the Clinton Foundation will step in to provide relief with your donations.

and all of those people on the southern coastline that are staying to "protect their property from thieves" are going to drown. I guess they don't realize there will be nothing left to protect when a 165 MPH tornado, moving at 5 mph, and 20 foot wall of water hits them. Gilbert came in from the east and cut across the island, this one is pushing a wall of water directly at them. Lord have mercy on those poor people !

The most terrifying thing for meteorologists and news networks is it heading into the atlantic and not the Gulf.

Exactly.
Although they will be happy to show scenes of devastation from Jamaica.
