Hello and welcome to the show.

Hello and welcome to the DSR Daily. I'm David Rothkoff. I'm joined by Riley Fessler and Minas Stein. And I think Riley's going to start us off with a story about giant hurricane that's

bearing down on Jamaica right as we speak. What's the latest? Hurricane Melissa, a category five storm is

forecast to make landfall on Jamaica near midday or early afternoon today on Tuesday. The storm's

worst impacts, including hurricane force winds beginning around 8 a.m. ET and a devastating storm surge of 9 to 13 feet are expected to

affect the western half of the island, though the entire island faces catastrophic flash flooding

from 15 to 30 inches of rain. After hitting Jamaica, Melissa will bring hurricane force winds up to 25

inches of rains and a 7 to 11 foot storm surge to southeast Cuba from late Tuesday through Wednesday morning.

The storm will then impact the southeast Bahamas on Wednesday before passing near Bermuda on Friday while also causing rough surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast.

It's a big storm. It's going to be devastating.

The layout of Jamaica mountains and canyons and so forth is going to make it worse, whether

it's from mudslides, also the winds, the prime minister of Jamaica said there's virtually no structure on the island that is able to withstand winds like this.

I think we need to watch this carefully. I hope the world responds quickly to the needs that Jamaica will undoubtedly have.

I don't know that we can count on the U.S. to do that. The president of the United States,

of course, as we'll discuss shortly, being off on the other side of the world,

wandering aimlessly from meeting to meeting.
