Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.

Starting to see pretty terrible scenes from Jamaica as news slowly trickles out. Complete devastation in the western part of the country (Negril, Montego Bay, Black River). Not much in the way of images yet. But descriptions of forests levelled by the wind and turned into sticks.
Hoping it's not as bad as it seems, but people have perished and are missing.
Sending all the love and support to all Jamaicans! And those impacted in Cuba, DR, and Haiti too!

Hurricane Melissa dealt a direct hit to Jamaica's southwestern coastal communities that face a long haul picking up the pieces as a lack of power and communications across the Caribbean island hampers damage assessments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/world/jamaica-hurricane-melissa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #jamaica #storms #typhoons #hurricane

I hate that anyone named Melissa will now be associated with this potentially deadly hurricane. I have a friend named Katrina who changed her name to Kat after the 2005 hurricane killed nearly 1400 people.
Maybe we could just name hurricanes/cyclones after the oil companies and the billionaires who profit off them? Have to reuse the names a lot, but we can just add numbers, like we do for Kings or Popes: ExxonMobil III or BP XIX.

It's only going to get worse
