Becky Hammon on why the Knicks can’t win a championship: “They don't have a dude... you got to have a 1A dude." Perkins: "They do have that dude…Jalen Brunson." Hammon: "He too small. If your best player is small, you're not winning."

LOT Polish Airlines Embraer E170STD arriving from Warsaw slid off the taxiway after landing at Vilnius Airport on Thursday, prompting authorities to temporarily close the runway, airport officials said. LO771, touched down at 13:43 but veered off the paved surface while taxiing toward its stand, said Tadas Vasiliauskas, a spokesperson for Lithuanian Airports. Flight-tracking data showed the plane stopped on the northern side of the airport, where several service vehicles – including a fire engine – surrounded the aircraft. Passengers were being disembarked as of early afternoon. Vilnius Airport closed its runway temporarily following the incident, with the closure expected to last at least until 17:00.

My analysis of #Hurricane #MELISSA's landfall in #Jamaica. This is the product of a painstaking (& tedious) frame-by-frame analysis of radar from Pilon, Cuba; my surface observations; a couple of eyewitness accounts & pics; & my survey of the aftermath. A few points: * My track is quite different than the NHC's operational track—puts landfall about 45 minutes later & brings center much further E after landfall—but it makes much better sense when compared with my data. (The timing of my minimum pressure was weirdly late in relation to NHC's operational track, whereas it makes perfect sense in relation to this radar-derived track.) * Analyzed landfall is New Hope at 12:45 pm EST (1:45 pm EDT/1745Z). * I thought it was useful to delineate between the eye (apparently ~10 n mi wide, with light rain & reduced winds) & the small clear area near the center, so both are indicated. My location was apparently just inside the eye but missed the "clear area" (where the lowest pressures most certainly occurred) by ~4 n mi. * The hurricane's structure was dynamic & evolving as it came ashore. The dimensions & locations of structural features (eyewall, eye, clear area) are based on the 1740Z radar image, which was the closest frame to landfall. (I've included it for reference.) OK, I am done with the meteorological analysis of this storm. Next... THE VIDEO. Comin' soon! (I know that is what everyone really wants to see.)

One of the most practical things you could send to Jamaica is tarpaulins. Needed for temporary roof cover.

This is the only way for the recovery not to take years. 🙏

Help the Weak if you're Strong. Currently half of the country is weak and will be so for a long time, it requires the strong side to set aside our differences, ignore the minor inconveniences and unite to get things done. #JamaicaRelief SupportJamaica.gov.jm

The devastation in some parts of western Jamaica is heartbreaking . It’s imperative that aid reaches those in need as quickly as possible. The immediate priorities are ensuring access to clean water and restoring fuel supplies. 💧⛽ #HurricaneRelief #JamaicaUnited

The infamous Hurricane Hunters just had one of the wildest flights in history today. Flying straight into the heart of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa, a Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules aircraft, call sign TEAL 75, was slammed by violent turbulence The G-forces were so extreme they may have stressed the aircraft’s frame, forcing the crew to abort the mission and return to base in Curaçao for inspection. Inside Melissa’s eyewall, the C-130J was thrown hundreds of feet up and down in seconds, nearly 700 feet of vertical motion within a single minute. The crew also reported that the eyewall had a “sawtooth” appearance, an indicator of the storm’s chaotic and extreme structure. Yet even amid chaos, the crew captured historic data, a central pressure of 893 mb and astonishing wind gust of 252 mph just above the surface, setting a world record for the highest wind gust ever measured by dropsonde in a hurricane. The plane then spent more than 35 minutes circling inside the eye of one of the most violent storms ever observed in the Atlantic, searching for a path out of the hurricane that wasn’t filled with lightning and extreme turbulence. These brave men and women risked their lives, without pay, to gather critical data that helped forecast the track and intensity of Melissa. A legendary plane ride that will go down in history.

Man. #Hurricane #MELISSA. Incredible power. Perhaps the mightiest hurricane of the 83 I've witnessed. My location (Crawford, a tiny beach town in St. Elizabeth Parish #Jamaica) took the full force of the inner right eyewall and may have seen the peak winds in this historic, record-smashing hurricane. First pic: as it started to get scary. Bone-rattling gusts were making roofs explode into clouds of lethal confetti. The grand palm tree out front was starting to bend obscenely—in a way I found unnatural. Second pic: after we bolted the door shut because it was getting too dangerous even to watch the storm. (I'd randomly ended up in the hotel's kitchen with a local family.) The hurricane's inner eyewall was a screaming white void. All I could see through the cracks in the shutters was the color white—accompanied by a constant, ear-splitting scream that actually caused pain. (Notice the woman in the pic holding her ears.) The scream occasionally got higher and angrier, and those extra-screechy screams made my eardrums pulse. Meanwhile, water was forcing in through every crack—under the floor and between the window slats. I remember shuddering at the thought of what was happening to the town—what this screaming white void was doing to people, homes, communities. My fears were well-founded. The impact in this part of coastal St. Elizabeth Parish is catastrophic. Wooden structures were completely mowed down and in some cases swept from their foundations. Some concrete structures collapsed. The well-built ones—like my hotel—survived, but even they had major roof, window, and door damage. The landscape has been stripped bare—the trees just sticks. The roads are blocked with rubble and utility poles. Nearby Black River—a unique old historical town right on the water—was smashed beyond recognition: historical sites destroyed, main streets filled with rubble, the town market twisted like a pretzel, even the regional hospital destroyed. It's a good thing I wasn't in my hotel room during the storm because one of the windows blew out, showering the bed with glass and wood. The hotel lost most of its roof, and several third-story rooms were smashed open. But in the lower flooors, those grand old concrete walls protected us. And so far I'm aware of only two deaths in Crawford—a fellow who had a heart attack at the school next door (his body was still in his car and unclaimed the next morning, a sad and disturbing sight), and a woman who drowned in the storm surge in Gallon Beach. While walking down the devastated streets of Black River, I ran into the Jamaican Member of Parliament for this region, @floydgreenja. He's a great dude and I appreciate that he already has a gameplan for turning this catastrophe into an opportunity—to build this region back better. And I vowed on the spot that I'm going to make it my mission to spread awareness of this catastrophe and get that aid flowing in. I'll be talking about MELISSA a lot over the coming months—because it is both a fascinating meteorological event and a human disaster that demands an international response. (And I swear an epic video is coming out of this.)
