Hurricane Beryl, JAMAICA. What's REALLY happening in Kingston right now.

3 July, Kingston, Jamaica. I'm walking in the street as the hurricane "slams into Jamaica", or at least the media says so. But this is what's ACTUALLY happening in Kingston, Jamaica as Hurricane Beryl is making landfall in Jamaica?

I grew up in Jamaica in the1950s. I consider it one of my fondest homes and have so many beautiful memories. The Jamaican people are strong and resilient. May God keep you all safe. Thanks so much for this live coverage from Kingston.

No lady, what makes Gilbert dangerous was that we were not prepared, that was the 1st hurricane for most of us

[@eddietee6305]

We Never took Gilbert it seriously. Yes it was devastating. Pressure cannot be ahead of wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed (velocity). Physics.

Irina, you had me cracking up. You reminded me of me when I was waiting for a hurricane a few years back. What you were experiencing was what is known as, the calm before the storm. Still keeping my fingers 🤞 that the storm change it's mind or move fast because, better to have a fast moving one than one that lingers for hours. I hope everyone stays safe.

[@nelliej4558]

Please go inside - the hurricanes come on suddenly and the calm before the storm and the calm in the eye of the storm are really deceptive. After the calm passes the wind comes on very suddenly and often without much warning.

[@mariolatore3867]

Blessed country

[@kayhorsham4598]

Always enjoy your videos, and learn so much from them. I'm pretty sure that Gilbert hit us as a category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 130 mph and as it moved across the island it dropped to a category 3 with sustained winds of 125 mph

You would think when they build back they would remember what happened in the last storm and build accordingly!!!!!! Or at the very least secure things that can hurt other people or property during the storm that can fly with the strong wind !!!! Turns out common sense is not that common any more !!!!!!

[@innersparkwellness]

The indigenous would watch the wildlife birds and the do what was necessary. They were more in touch with the land and much more respect for Mother Earth.

[@tjonesauto]

Jamaica had a super bloom of sea grass this year. That combined with the reefs prevented the hurricane surf from being way worse. This island is as resilient as it's people. 1❤

[@josee150565]

I love your videos Irie, plz stay safe!

[@IBumpg]

That's why I have been trying to explain to people. Pay attention to the pressure. The lower the more serious it will be. The order has been for the top five: Wilma in 2005 (882 mb), Gilbert in 1988 (888 mb), then Labour Day hurricane in 1935 (892 mb), Rita in 2005 (895 mb) and Allen in 1980 (899 mb).

[@jomomerritt]

What about Hurricane Michael?

[@eddietee6305]

Speed and how large the system is are more important. In fact, Energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed (velocity). That's Physics.

[@IBumpg]

⁠@@eddietee6305Why do you think those who monitor the weather use pressure rather than wind speed to indicate the strength of a hurricane? The wind speed of a cyclone is related to the pressure. The lower the pressure the stronger the winds. The size of the system just indicate the area covered.

[@eddietee6305]

@@IBumpg I'm not talking about size. I'm talking about SCIENCE. There is nothing in the books that said the lower the pressure of a cyclone system the more it's devastating. Yes the pressure does play a part but not as significant as you making it out to be. So assume you have winds at 100mph @ 980mb and another system at 155mph @ 900mb. According to your logic the former is more dangerous - not so. The low pressure accounts for organization of the eyewall and the overall growth in size of the system.
