STRANDED FOR DAYS?? Kingston’s International airport is on an island of its own - only accessible by one road in and out. With #Melissas unique approach from the south, storm surge poses a significant risk to this transportation hub. With other parts of the island likely inaccessible following “numerous” landslides and mudslides, getting to other smaller airports will be challenging. Could this prevent aid and evacuations from occurring post storm? Only time will tell. Hoping & praying for the b

Derek Van Dam on Instagram: "🚨 JUST IN: Hurricane hunters were forced to abort their flight early Monday due to “severe turbulence” in #melissas SW eye-wall. ✈️ This storm is testing the limits of the people whose job it is to fly into the world worst storms. One seasoned crew member, Andy Hazelton, stating that the aborted flight was “definitely the most turbulent I’ve ever experienced.” 👀 WATCH how this critical data is collected through our new augmented reality technology, unveiled today.

EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE! ~ For years, I’ve dreamt of expanding my professional career beyond science and meteorology, and when @cnn & @cnntravel approached me to host a new travel series, I was beyond thrilled.
