  10. #Hurricane #Huracán #Melissa #Jamaica - Ignoring evacuation orders puts both the individuals and rescue workers at significant risk. People who refuse to leave can endanger themselves and their families, and their decision may prevent rescue teams from having to risk their own lives.

  11. I don't have a good feeling about this:

    Massive numbers are ignoring current mandatory evacuation orders. Example; ...Queen and Broad streets in Port Royal, Kingston (low-lying area, already flooded) Only one person boarded the evacuation bus yesterday.

    881 emergency shelters are open, only 76 of them have reported activity. 972 people have registered.
