Clinton tours Jamaica, charm meets catastrophe

Bill Clinton flew into Jamaica to check out the wreckage from Hurricane Melissa, a massive Category 5 storm that slammed the western part of the island and killed over 40 people while racking up more than a trillion Jamaican dollars in destruction. The former president met with government officials and took a helicopter ride over the demolished areas with some ministers to drum up more help for rebuilding.

Clinton got treated to dinner at a Kingston hotel by the Sandals resort boss, and a bunch of government officials showed up along with someone from his foundation. The acting prime minister said they want to team up with the Clinton Foundation going forward because the nonprofit does disaster recovery and climate stuff that Jamaica desperately needs right about now.
