  • 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 was in Jamaica when Gilbert hit in 1988. It was an unusual hurricane because it actually tricked us into thinking it left, then many people went out on the streets to assess the damage done. While we were out and about, it returned with a vengeance, and did even more damage. I think that is how most people lost their lives. I was also in St. Thomas, which got the brunt of it. I remember a few people in my community went missing… one was never found… they said he was washed away in the rivers. They were stubborn and never heeded the hurricane warnings, so they stayed home until it was too late. By the way, prior to Hurricane Gilbert, it was a major storm in 1951, which is why most people didn’t take the Gilbert warnings seriously.

    Hit us at Category 3 and left at Cat 5.....
    Beryl's eye seems to have kept off the coast...so that is also a big difference.

    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).

      ⁠@@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.

      @@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.

    Please go inside - the hurricanes come an 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.
