On the news, I have heard that a Category 5 hurricane, Melissa, has struck the Caribbean nation of Jamaica. The hurricane is one of Jamaica's worst events of the 2020s, with many homes destroyed by winds of over 175 mph, not to mention claiming at least three lives. This disaster has also affected the Jamaican diaspora, of which I am a part of.

As a fellow Jamaican myself, all I can I am saddened by what happened, and hereby wish the residents the best of luck and may everyone who died in the hurricane rest in peace. I hope that one day, when the disaster ends, that Jamaica can repair itself, or if it cannot, get some help.
