I don't know the future. However, I have every reason to fear that if Haiti and Jamaica sustain the same wind and rainfall it's the Haitians that are gonna suffer far worse.

Me too. Dr. Paul Farmer (1959-2022) created affinities for me with Haiti. I read about him and and this guy is one of the few people I legitimately consider one of my heroes.

Japanese chronicles trace Japan’s “divine protection” to the Mongol invasions of 1274 and 1281. Both fleets, approaching Kyūshū, suffered catastrophic storm losses—memorialized as the kamikaze—especially off Hakata Bay. Coupled with coastal defenses and night raids, those wrecks cemented the belief that hostile ships risked waters guarded by the kami.

This storm is just that but for Venezuela IMO. They are "kami-unists" after all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
