## Caption

American independent journalist and storm chaser Jonathan Petramala, known for documenting some of the most extreme weather events on the planet, shared a touching story while reporting from Jamaica.

Petramala mentioned he’d been trying to find a rain jacket since arriving in Jamaica after forgetting his poncho at home. While out filming, he complimented a stranger on her jacket, and to his surprise, that’s when the Jamaican woman — wearing a @jff_football national football team jacket — offered him hers.

 “She just gave me this jacket off her back,” he said.
 “But I just wanted to share that story because I want you to keep that in mind. When you see the impacts of Hurricane Melissa and realize people like this are the ones that are being impacted — not just today, not just tomorrow, but days and weeks and months ahead. These are the people in the path of Hurricane Melissa.”
