In reply to the discussion: Earthquake in Kingston Jamaica right now [View all]GetRidOfThem
(869 posts)I have spend time in Jamaica, and on Grand Cayman. I have been to Hell and back!
The first time I was in Jamaica, for work, I was spending time in the Wyndham. I then moved into the Spanish Hotel in Kingston. I received panicked phone call the next morning: "Are you all right? We are trying to track down everybody who is at the Wyndham.. There had been a fire." Yup, the day after I left the thing burned.
The second time on Jamaica was part of a cruise, and I visited Nine Mile. Man, you should have seen the paraphernalia on sale there!...
As I have written to you before, Malaise, I have spend a lot of time in the Caribbean. I have done Hurricane damage assessments after both Irma (on Barbuda) and Maria (on Dominica). I have seen the awful destruction on these islands.
So whenever I hear something like this unfold, I think of everybody there. My thoughts, right now, are with you.
