🐟 🐠 Just Another Once In A Lifetime Event
Hurricane Melissa and Vision 2030: Coincidence, Catalyst, or Something Fishier?
Curiosity killed the cat… but satisfaction brought it back.
The Storm That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen
On October 28, 2025, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in southwest Jamaica as a Category 5 monster—185 mph winds, 892 millibars of pressure (tied for the lowest ever recorded in the Atlantic), and a path of destruction so complete that the Prime Minister declared the entire island a disaster zone.
Black River, the capital of St. Elizabeth Parish, was 90% destroyed. Homes, hospitals, schools—gone. Power grids vaporized. The tourism belt along the south coast? A skeleton of what it was. Early estimates: billions in damage.
It was, by every metric, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
And yet…
The Plan That Was Already on the Shelf
Enter Vision 2030 Jamaica—a 16-year national development strategy launched in 2009, fully aligned with the UN’s Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This isn’t some post-storm reaction. It’s a pre-written blueprint for:
- Rebuilding resilient infrastructure (roads, drainage, coastal defenses)
- Modernizing urban centers (hello, “smart city” Kingston)
- Transitioning to renewable energy and digital grids
- Reducing “disaster vulnerability” through centralized planning and public-private partnerships
Outcome 14: Hazard Risk Reduction and Adaptation to Climate Change
Translation? They’ve been waiting for a disaster like this.
When Chaos Becomes Opportunity
Disasters don’t just destroy—they unlock.
- Emergency budgets bypass normal oversight
- Maps get redrawn without public hearings
- Projects fast-tracked under “urgency”
- Land use policies shift overnight
We’ve seen it before:
- New Orleans post-Katrina → gentrified “resilient” zones
- Puerto Rico post-Maria → privatized power grid
- Maui post-fires → “smart city” proposals amid the ashes
Now it’s Jamaica’s turn.
The Fishy Part? The Timing.
Melissa didn’t just happen to hit during hurricane season. She rapidly intensified in ways meteorologists called “unprecedented.” She targeted the exact regions Vision 2030 flagged for “urgent infrastructure upgrades.”
And within 48 hours of landfall?
- World Bank loans announced
- UN disaster teams deployed
- “Build back better” rhetoric in full swing
No debate. No delay. Just activation.
Plausible Deniability: The Perfect Shield
Of course, none of this proves anything.
- Vision 2030 was public for 16 years
- Climate change is making storms worse
- Jamaica does need resilient infrastructure
It’s all perfectly rational.
But that’s the genius of plausible deniability:
Everything is explainable—until you look at the pattern.
So What’s Really Happening?
Maybe it’s just bad luck + good planning.
Maybe it’s crisis capitalism dressed as compassion.
Or maybe… something more deliberate.
I don’t have proof.
But I have eyes.
And what I see is a nation grieving—while a pre-loaded agenda gets turbocharged.
Final Thought
Jamaica will rebuild.
The question is:
For whom?
Keep watching.
Keep asking.
Because when a “once-in-a-lifetime” storm delivers exactly what a 16-year plan needed…
Curiosity isn’t paranoia.
It’s survival.
What do you think? Coincidence? Catalyst? Or calculated?
