VI students in Jamaica evacuated to Cayman Islands
Melissa is projected to make landfall in Jamaica as a Category Five hurricane on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
The evacuation was a collaborative effort between the Premier and the Government of the Cayman Islands.
Premier Wheatley expressed gratitude to the Cayman Islands government for facilitating the process.
It is unclear how many students have been evacuated, and the Premier did not respond to our request for his comment.
In a message to Virgin Islanders, the Premier expressed concern for all those in the hurricane's path and stated, "Our thoughts and prayers are with every family, community, and nation affected by this powerful storm."
VI 'ready to assist'
He called on Virgin Islanders to join him in praying for protection, strength, and swift recovery for our brothers and sisters across Jamaica. "Moments like these remind us that we are one regional family, bound by history, friendship, and shared resilience."
The Premier noted that the Government of the Virgin Islands has been closely monitoring the situation and assured residents that the government stands ready to assist in any way possible.
"We have been in communication with our regional partners, and as recovery needs become clearer, the Virgin Islands will do its part to offer support," he stated.

I hope the VI is preparing a significant support package for Jamaica. Thay are going to need it.
Glad to see my doppelganger is also behind this positive work from the VI Government.
I agree with the mother for speaking out
We come before You with hearts full of concern for all who stand in the path of Hurricane Melissa. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over every home, every family, and every community preparing for this storm. Calm anxious hearts and strengthen weary spirits.
Father, guide the hands of those making preparations and give wisdom to the leaders and first responders who work tirelessly to keep others safe. Speak peace to the winds and stillness to the waves, for even the storms must obey Your voice.
May Your presence be a shelter in the midst of the storm, and may hope rise stronger than fear. When the winds pass and the skies clear, let there be testimonies of Your grace and mercy.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
Just $150 to 175 thousand for a charter. We have it....Its going to be 3-5 weeks before things get back to normal in JA. They should be home in the comfort of their homes
