After Hurricane Melissa, many Jamaicans are still struggling to reach loved ones.

 



This post from Jamaica Observer celebrates Tiffany Edwards' initiative in Clarkstown, Trelawny, where she collects neighbors' phone numbers to relay messages to overseas family via a rare signal spot, highlighting human ingenuity amid telecom failures after Hurricane Melissa.

Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that battered Jamaica on October 29, 2025, inflicted US$5-16 billion in damages, four confirmed deaths, and severe disruptions to power, roads, and communications, exacerbating isolation in rural areas like Trelawny.

Edwards' story exemplifies broader recovery themes in Jamaica's response, including community-led support and international aid like US DART teams, while warnings of scam relief sites underscore vulnerabilities in disaster fundraising.

Marvel used the Saturday evening Hall H slot to spotlight upcoming MCU projects, including *Avengers: Doomsday*, appearances by members of that film’s sprawling cast, confirmation or strong teases around a Ghost Ri...
