Hurricane Melissa Exits Cuba

 But much DAMAGE Remains!!

      After smashing through Jamaica Hurricane Melissa, sometimes at Category 5 and with winds up to a record 240 mph, the monster reached landfall in Eastern Cuba at 3:13 A. M. on Tuesday, October 28th, 2025.

      In around Cuba's second largest city, Santiago de Cuba, the damage was extensive although Cuba is famous for massively preparing for and then enduring hurricanes.

      But, for sure, Hurricane Melissa was a monster on its path in the Caribbean. In the nearby United States, today's Top Four Headlines are interesting, especially the Top Two from Fox News and Politico that stress that "Rubio Says White House Is Ready to help Cuba's hurricane recovery." Wow. That headline has surprised many Cubans as they face dire straits from the aftermaths of Hurricane Melissa while they were already facing vast problems with nationwide power blackouts and food shortages they already at least PARTLY blamed on Rubio and the endless U. S. economic blockade that has eixisted since 1962.

     Arguably, in October of 2025 the two most powerful people in the world are U. S. President Donald Trump and his U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Cubans in Cuba believe strongly that, since January of 2025, Trump and Rubio have severely tightened the EMBARO/Blockade that has severely surrounded the island since 1962.

         The ultra-powerful U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was born 54 years ago to Cuban-born parents in Miami Florida's rich and very powerful Little Havana neighborhood. All of his life in both Miami and in Washington where he was U. S. Senator from 2011 till 2025, Marco Rubio has been an ultra-powerful force fighting against Revolutionary Cuba, which defeated the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista in January of 1959. Now as U. S. Secretary of State it seems that Marco Rubio is in a position to finally fulfill a lifelong dream, one way or the other!! 

     Yet, for sure, as Cubans on the island are still recovering from the drastic aftermaths of Hurricane Melissa, forgive them if they are surprised by the Top headlines shown above!! Indeed, will "Rubio help fund Cuba's hurricane recovery." ??
